September 6-9

We had a great start to the school year! This week in Kindergarten --

Our poem was Time for School. We made movements to our poem, glued it into our poetry notebook, completed a poetry page where we searched for letters and counted how many words were in the poem, and recorded it for seesaw. Check out your child's seesaw page to see our poem! 

Our read aloud was The Recess Queen. We practiced making predictions, retelling important parts, studying our main character and talking about how she changed from the beginning to the end of the story, studying our other character and listing character traits, and doing a directed drawing of both Mean Jean and Katie Sue. 

In writing, we are working on handwriting. We practiced the letters D, P, B and R and drew a dog, pig, bat, and rhino. We are working on writing simple sentences (the dog, the pig, the bat, the rhino) and using mostly lowercase letters. They are doing so well and I hope you have enjoyed seeing their writing come home! 

In math, your child is learning to count to 20, recognize and build sets to 10 using fingers, use five-frames and ten-frames, count, order, and compare numbers to 10, and write numerals to 10. 

In science, we are learning about day and night.
