This Week in Kindergarten

We have a real week, sandwiched into a strange month.  To my knowledge we have few interruptions or other issues this week; in other words a rare normal week.  Here is the plan.

We will roll out a bunch of new centers tomorrow based upon the books Armadillo's Orange, and Animal Babies in Grasslands.  It would be wonderful to have a few volunteers to help out at center time.

We will continue working on reading and writing.  In reading we are working on blending sounds and letters to make simple three-letter words.  In writing we are working on feeling comfortable with the writing process including spaces.

In math we are making a pattern quilt, and will introduce a few more games for "Math Workplaces"

The afternoons this week should have a full smorgasbord of activities including science with Ms. Forst and Social Studies with Ms. Miljkovic.  We have most library books but could use a few more.

Here are a few more details of the week...

New Words: my, we, like
Words we (should) know: I, am, the, little, a, to, have, is
New Letter Cc (In kindergarten, C's almost always sound like /k/)
Letters we know m, t, a, s, p, c
Theme Book: Bear Snores On
Comprehension Skill: realism and fantasy
Math skills: comparing and combining shapes, patterns, comparing sets
Science: more tree science
Social Studies: what is a veteran?

Star of the Week: Jenna

Don't forget, there is no school on Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28.
