Kindergarten Announcements
Thank you!...for an amazing teacher appreciation week! I definitely feel loved!
ELA
We performed Reader’s Theater this week and used characters’ words and actions to determine what they like and how they feel. Then we read aloud using “expression” to show understanding of the text and the characters. Our spelling words are: sip, did, mix, box, fox, wax
Math
Students are building with a given number of solid shapes. They are also building with their shapes and then determining how many of each shape there are. Additionally, we enjoyed estimating a group of items using clues to narrow down the possibilities.
Social Studies
We continued learning to problem solve. We learned that all solutions should be considered and that people are allowed to express their viewpoint on what is the best solution. Finally we learned that a solution has to be fair to all people involved.
Science: Plant Needs: Water and Light
This week, we learned that plants and animals are alive! We observed that all living things must meet certain needs to stay healthy.
You can ask your child to show you how a plant grows bigger and healthier when it gets enough water and sunlight.
P2: Perseverance
Perseverance is an individual’s ability to spend long periods of time devoted to a single goal or set of goals. People demonstrating high levels of perseverance are able to handle significant, sometimes repeated, setbacks in pursuit of goals.
Reminders:
NWEA testing is next week for kindergarteners. Please check with your student if his/her headphones are working to ensure a problem free week of testing.
