January 31-February 4

 

This week in Kindergarten! 

We started off the week learning all about Groundhogs Day. We watched a YouTube video that explained Groundhogs Day, we learned a little about groundhogs, we learned about the Milwaukee County groundhog, Gordy, and we watched Gordy on Groundhogs Day. 

Our poem this week was Groundhogs Day. We made movements, glued it into our poetry notebook, completed a poetry page, and recorded it for seesaw. 

Our read aloud this week was Groundhug Day. We practiced making predictions, retelling important parts, making inferences, and answer questions. 

For writing, we completed our How To writing assessment. Then we started our non-fiction writing unit. We will write 2 non-fiction books together, then they will write a non-fiction book for homework, and then they will be able to look up any animal and write a non-fiction book about it. 

For math, we are in unit 5. In unit 5, your student will explore similarities and differences in 2D and 3D shapes, identify, describe, and sort 2D shapes, use simple shapes to make bigger shapes, and count and compare number of objects in different groups. 

For guidance, we learned about big or strong feelings and how to calm down.
