Thanksgiving week in kindergarten

A short blog for a short week...

There is no school on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.  After this we have three five-day weeks in a row!!

Last Friday we said goodbye to Akayla, a PSU student who spent lots of time with our class as part of a practicum.

The week will include at least one big concept -- the Ii letter.  Thus far, for most readers, we have been playing with sounds and blending to make sense of simple consonant-vowel-consonant words with an a in the middle (e.g. sat or tap).  This week we make a huge jump into making sense of what happens when we switch out the a for i.  This can be a big challenge for many readers.

Aside from this we will learn two more words (he and for), write about our star of the week, Zeki, do some thanksgiving crafts (hopefully), learn a new math shape game called "Hungry Caterpillars", and learn a little about Thanksgiving.

This week also marks a transition at Chapman at the Ramona.  We  will be saying goodbye to Ms. D'Aurora on Tuesday, and welcoming Ms. Rodhe next week.  Ms. D'Aurora will be moving on to teach 6th grade science and math at Laurelhurst.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
