Reading

The last 2 weeks we have been working on our Daily 5.  We now have two of the five dailies in place and working in our classroom.   We do Read to Self and Work on Writing.   They are doing a very nice job on these.  During Read to Self the students read to themselves books they have picked.  During Work on Writing we write in our journals and practice our writing.  Also we have been working on rhyming and sounds.  It is always a good thing to practice with your child. Ask your child about all of our learning’s.

Math

During math we have been very busy working on graphs and positional words.   The students really got to learn a lot about graphs as we graphed many of our favorite things.  We have spent a lot of time working on left and right.  Check to see how well we know this.  Next we are beginning to work on our numbers.  So start practicing these at home.  

More Areas

We have still been working on our capital letters in writing.  Please continue to practice these at home.  We began our work in Social Studies, Science, and Health.  The students go to each Kindergarten classroom to receive lessons in these areas.  One teacher teaches Science, one Social Studies, and one Health.  The students are learning about families, trees, and feelings.
