In full swing

Friday, December 7, 2018
We are back in full swing after all the short weeks!  We got in lots of reading groups and math groups too.  We started a new unit in fundations.  This unit focuses heavily on using sounds to segment and blend words together.  We tap our fingers to help us feel the sounds.  We will also practice the correct paths for writing uppercase letters as well. 

In the next two weeks we will learn lots about customs and traditions surrounding December holidays of many different cultures.  We will also focus on the customs and traditions of our classmates too!   In the Friday Folder, there is a brown sack.  Please write a little about a special tradition your family has  and put something in the sack to represent it.  We will share these as they come in before winter break. 

On the last day before break we will have a kindergarten cozy day.  Your child may dress in PJs, bring a blanket and a pillow that they can carry.  We will do some cozy day activities in here and have some hot chocolate too!

Here are our learning goals for the week:
Reading:  Finding words in text, cross checking the picture with the first sound, making connections,
Writing:  Writing stories for readers, making writing neat, using word spaces
Math:  identifying shapes by feel, sorting blocks by attributes, graphing favorite colors, exploring calculators
Fundations:  tapping words to read them.
