I hope you all had a Great weekend!! I sure did with that Hoosier victory yesterday to give us the Big Ten title! I am not happy with the time change! It was so nice to be driving to school when it was somewhat light out! Now back to darkness! I am happy the weather is starting to feel more like spring!
We had a GREAT Monday here at school! The time change did not have an impact on any of the kids as they were full of energy today!
This morning for morning work we worked on middle sounds. This is good practice for the kids to do from time to time.
Fundations was all about word families ab, ad, and am. The word families will help us with our tapping and sounding out words while reading.
We had 2 center rotations today. Both of my groups did a GREAT job reading today!
Language arts time we discussed the correct way to write I when it is by itself. Students worked out a cut and paste to identify I's that were written correctly and incorrectly. I will be saving this to review their overall understanding of this concept.
After lunch we finished the I worksheet.
The kids had music and movement this afternoon so that was great to have them moving around for 40 minutes!
When the kids came back from music and movement they did a sentence and drew an illustration to go along with the sentence. It is important that the kids understand that the pictures go along with what they story is saying and that they are not just random pictures along with the writing. They did not have any help from me on this. I encouraged them to use the strategies we have talked about in class to tap out, sound out, and spell their words. The kids all did a great job throughout this activity! I am so happy to see how much they have improved in their writing abilities!
We had inside recess today because of the rain.
We had a snack and restroom break following our recess time.
Math time was busy! We did our 3 minute math, March math books, reviewed 3d and 2d shapes, and a subtraction worksheet!
Science- We started our new unit today on plants and animals! The kids did an activity that asked them categorize living and nonliving things. They worked with their table groups to put living and nonliving pictures into the correct category. They enjoyed doing this! We also completed a chart one their science notebook worksheet.We had a lot of good discussion today during science! It is great to have the kids participating in group discussions and think alouds!
I am looking forward to another great week here in Kindergarten!!!!
Please remember to read, work on math facts, and sentence writing each night for homework!!
Book orders are due by Wednesday! If you are able please allow your children to pick out a few books to order! This gives incentive for them to read!!!!
Monday in class activities!
Mr. Schultz
There is math homework tonight! The back side of their 3 minute math needs to be completed and returned tomorrow!
