We will be celebrating 100 days in school TOMORROW..Tuesday, February 2!  Hooray!!

Don’t forget to have your kinder bring their collection of 100 items!  The collection will come home at the end of the day.  We will be having a day full of “hundreds” of fun activities and learning experiences! 

News of the Week—Jan 25-29

POPCORN WORDS:  with     big

WRITING: This week the kinders were encouraged to write their own HOW TO… stories.  It was exciting to see what they chose to teach others through  their writing on how to do something.  They did an amazing job stretching out unknown words, using sight words, including finger spaces and sentence stoppers!  They are  becoming awesome writers!

MATH: We spent the week looking at teen numbers (finding ten and extra ones), telling math stories, identifying shapes, adding and subtracting numbers from 0-5, writing numbers 0-30, and showing partners for numbers 2 through 7.  Next week, we will be reviewing math concepts we learned in this math unit before taking our Unit #3 test. 

READING: The kinders learned how important it is to check our reading!  We learned that if we see tricky words in our book and we are not sure how to read them we can stop and ask:

  1. Does it make sense?
  2. Does it sound right?
  3. Does it look right?

Also that when reading challenging books you need to use picture power that has “extra strength“.  That means you really need to spend time looking at the pictures, noticing more and more details while making sure the words match the pictures. The whole picture may give us clues about words we are unsure of and it also tells us quite a bit when it comes to retelling the book!  The kinders are developing this skill as their reading level grows. We learned that readers can move from reading a pattern book to reading a storybook.  We practiced this by starting to read Wake Up Dad!

LITERACY/PHONICS:  We worked on our sight words, added another book to our blue book box with our popcorn words (with, big) in it, listened for syllables in words,  sounded out 3 letter words (CVC – consonant, vowel, consonant words) and listened for medial sounds in words.  We also learned that punctuation marks matter when reading sentences.

KOOL KINDERS SPREADING KINDNESS AND A BEING BOOK LOVER:  It is time to be the Kool Kinder again!  Your kinder will be doing two activities.  They will spread kindness by picking a kind act to do at home and drawing a picture, plus they will  choose a favorite storybook so that we can read it at school.

Day 100 Fun

DAY 100:  Wow!  Can you believe it? Today we celebrated 100 days of learning in kindergarten.  

All day long we did activities revolving around the number 100!  We read books, we made a special Day 100 hat and badge, we counted to 100, we played math games identifying 100 numbers, we showed our 100 collections, we did 100 exercises and so much more. 

100 COLLECTIONS: Thank you for helping your kinder collect and count 100 items!  They brought in fantastic, creative collections! 

RACE TO 100

The kinders practiced counting to 100 and “counting on” from a given number by playing the Race to 100 game. 

 

PENNY FLIPS

The kinders learned how to flip a penny, recognize heads or tails, and record the results of the penny toss. They had lots of practice with this skill because they worked towards flipping a penny 100 times!!!

 

100 MINUTES OF PLAY

Throughout the day, our class was able to enjoy 100 minutes of play time (recess, break times, and play centers). Here are some of the play centers the kinders enjoyed.

NEWS OF THE WEEK—Feb 6-8

It was a very short week of school but we still did learning when we were at school.

   

LEARNING ABOUT GROUNDHOG DAY:  We read a newspaper to learn some true facts about groundhogs. We found out that groundhogs CAN eat leaves, berries, bugs, live in burrows, gnaw on wood, whistle and hibernate all winter.  They HAVE fur, sharp claws and teeth. Groundhogs ARE rodents, can be a big as large cat and can be called woodchucks.  We also made a fun groundhog puppet to use when retelling a poem.  A fun day of learning!

MYSTERY READERS:  Rocco was not expecting to see his mom step into the room on Wednesday. He could not stop smiling!  She brought the perfect book to read….The night before Day 100 because we were celebrating Day 100 this week.

Olivia was the kinder who was surprised on Friday when her mom, along with Marcus and Sophia, was the mystery reader.  She read Aqualicious because on a snowy day it is fun to read a book about sunny days at the beach.  (Sorry I am having difficulty uploading the pictures)
