font-family: 'Shadows Into Light Two', cursive;/ Life in Kindergarten

This week during Reading Workshop we:
  • learned to look for chunks we know inside of words (Chunky Monkey).
  • practiced reading words with the short a sound.
  • learned that readers become better readers by reading the same book multiple times.
  • learned that readers might be able to figure out what the words in the title are if they do a picture walk first.

This week during Writing Workshop we continued our pattern book unit.  We learned:
  • to write a seesaw pattern (a pattern book in which the pages alternate between two different patterns).
  • to write a question and answer seesaw pattern.
  • to write a seesaw pattern about opposites.
  • that our pictures need to help our reader figure out the word that changes on each page.



This week during Math we:
  • played Spin a Number, a game to help us practice moving on a game board.





  • worked as a group to put numbers in order.
  • worked independently to order numbers 0-15.
  • practiced subitizing and graphing with the game Roll a Number.
  • played Monster Squeeze to practice comparing numbers with the words greater than/less than.






Thank you for all the donations that have been made for our Rowe School Food Drive.  We will continue to collect items through Tuesday, November 24.  During our community meeting on Tuesday, we will count to see how many items Rowe School donated.

Since we only have two days of school next week, I will not post next week.  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your family and friends.  I am so thankful to be your child's teacher.

Warmly,
Mrs. Caron
