Riveredge Nature Center

May 6-10

This week in Kindergarten we read all the Pigeon books by Mo Willems that we could find! We read, "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus", "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy", "The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog", and "The Pigeon Needs a Bath". While we were studying the Pigeon; we also worked on making connections, studying our main character, looking at problem and solution, retelling our stories, and answering comprehension questions. 

Our poem was "In The Ocean". We made movements to our poem, completed an silent E/ no silent E sort, and completed a sentence sort. 

Our big book was "Pitter Patter". 

For word work, we sorted OR and AR words. 

For writing, we started a new writing unit! We are writing make-believe or fantasy stories! The students are having a blast creating their own stories and characters! 

For math, we continued to work on number bonds and story problems. This week, we focused on solving for one part instead of the whole. (part-part whole)

We have been working very hard on our mother's day gifts as well! I hope you are all feeling very loved!

Our special person of the week was Micah! We enjoyed learning more about Micah this week and having his mom and triplets come read to us!

Our read aloud book this week was "Chicken's Aren't the Only Ones". We wrote current and new information we knew/learned about animals that come from eggs, we sorted oviparous (animals that come from eggs) and viviparous (animals that don't come from eggs), we wrote about the authors purpose, and we answered questions about our text. 

Our poem this week was Oviparous. We learned all about animals that comes from eggs and completed a short/long O sorting activity. 

For word work, we looked at AR and not AR words. We sorted the words, colored the AR pattern, made words, and colored pictures. 

Our big book was "Morning on the Farm". 

For writing, we continued to work on our poetry books along with a special mothers day book!

For math we have been working on number bonds and story problems (part/part whole). 

For science, we studied moon phases. 

For guidance, we had Mrs. Kikkert come talk to us about safe touches. 

Mrs. DeRosa came into our room last week and read "There's a Bear in my Chair". We loved it so much that we decided to make our own book, "There's a Mouse in my House". We even invited Mrs. DeRosa back so she could see what we created. 

Our special person this week was Coralyn! We were so excited to learn more about Coralyn and to have Mrs. Reid come read to us!
