This week we have been taking a virtual trip around the world to learn about holidays and traditions of other countries. We began by making a suitcase for our trip to hold all of our good learning. We buckled our seatbelts and "flew" off to each country using google earth. We learned about Christmas in Germany, Las Posadas in Mexico and Kwanzaa in the United states. We will continue this good work next week too!
Next Friday we will be having a kindergarten cozy day. Your child can wear Pajamas to school and bring a pillow and a blanket. We will do some cozy day activities and have hot chocolate too!
Here are our learning goals for the week:
Reading: Tapping out sounds we hear in words, using the picture to make predictions
Writing: using a resource to spell unknown words, reading our work to a friend, adding more to our writing to make it even better.
Math: Decomposing shapes, understanding teen numbers, understanding numbers on a tens frame
Social Skills: Understanding differences
