It has been a great week in kindergarten! We loved celebrating Earth Day by cleaning up our Thorson grounds - many hands make light work!!
ELA SKILLS
This week, we focused on adding some new tricky words to our reading vocabulary. We learned where, to, why and no. We also practiced the correct formation of our uppercase letters. We are doing a great job of printing our letters! We are trying to make sure that our tall letters are tall and our small letters are small - be sure to notice how neat we are printing!!
KNOWLEDGE
This week, we read the story The Very Impatient Caterpillar. While listening to the story, we worked on the strategies of predicting, retelling, inferring, and making connections. We all thought this was a super silly story! Be sure to ask us to retell it to you!
Our vocabulary words this week were impatient and transform. Ask us to use these two words in a sentence for you!
We also listened to these 3 non-fiction books on Caterpillars and Butterflies. We loved learning about the Life Cycle of a Butterfly and about butterflies that migrate.
In honor of Earth Day, we learned a poem about Recycling! We even learned sign language for the words recycle, reuse, green and clean. Be sure to ask us to show you the motions for this poem!
MATH
In math, we are working on the concept that a teen number is 10 and some more. We have used double ten frames to explore and work on this idea. One of the games we played was "Teen Number Flash". we worked with our partner to build the teen number that was flashed on the Smartboard. We had to build it 2 different ways... Five-wise and pair-wise - be sure to ask us what this means!!
