We had another busy week in Kindergarten!
REMINDERS:
- The Student Flu Clinic is at Rowe School on Thursday, September 27, from 4:00-6:30.
- Picture Day is Friday, September 28.
- Please make sure your child has an extra set of clothes in his/her backpack.
This week in Reading we:
- Learned the difference between a letter and a word.
- Practiced identifying and sorting the letters b, r, f, and e (both uppercase and lowercase!).
- Learned about one-to-one correspondence. Through modeling and shared reading, the children practiced pointing to one word as they said one word. I taught them that readers make sure they only say one word for each word they see.
- Learned that words in a sentence go in a certain order. We wrote sentences together, practiced reading them, and then I cut apart the words in the sentences and the children put the them back together.
- Identified the first and last letters in each child's name and then compared the names. Each child then sorted their own set of class names by common attributes they identified (first letter, last letter, number of letters, boys and girls, etc.).
- Learned that writers can write about things that have happened in their lives.
- Learned that writers can continue working a piece of writing from one day to the next.
- Learned that when writers want to write a word they stretch the word out like a rubber band and then write one letter (or mark) for each sound they hear. The children were encouraged to make a letter or mark for each sound even if they didn't think they knew the correct letter.
- Started handwriting. We practiced writing the letters F & E.
- Identified the numbers 3-7 and explored these numbers through the use of concrete objects.
- Learned about "longer" and "shorter" and found objects in the classroom that are longer and shorter than us.
- Learned about patterns and practiced identifying and building patterns.
- Practiced counting and identifying the next number in a sequence.
