   Kindergarten Announcements

ELA

We did our first Reader’s Theater unit this week.  We practiced how to read the book With My Family.  We built fluency by echo reading, and listening for speed and pacing while reading.  We ended the week by reading our script in parts and reflecting on how we read.  

Math

We counted groups of up to ten images to understand that the order counted does not change the number of images.  We then compared groups and identified groups that have more, less, or the same number as a given group of images. 

Writing

We worked on writing and answering questions.  We practiced making question marks and capitalizing the word “I”.   

Social Studies

The kindergarteners explored the concept of time by learning about the past, the present, and the future.    

Science

It was so much fun learning about why birds lay their eggs in the spring rather than waiting for the summer or fall.  We compared and contrasted different kinds of bird nests and made a nest of our own to take home. 

P2

Bravery:  Being brave means being strong even when you are scared.  You can be brave every day by finding courage to try new things like riding a bike.
