Our hallway bulletin board now features some super spring writing. 💮

Curriculum Update:

Fundations

Last week in Fundations we learned the sight words do and does. The class was also introduced to digraphs, or two letters that make one brand new sound. In Kindergarten we will practice reading and writing words with the sh, ch, th, wh, and ck digraphs.

Math

In math we reviewed our teen numbers last week! The children were reminded that teen means "ten" and that teen numbers contain one group of ten, and in the case of 11-19, some extras. I am so proud of the progress I have seen with everyone's teen number recognition and writing skills since this concept was first introduced many weeks ago. Keep up the great work! 

The students above work together to sequence the teen numbers on their double ten frame cards.

Writer's Workshop

We continue to work on our procedural, or "how to" writing in Writer's Workshop. Last week the class sequenced and wrote the steps for how to make a donut. The students also enjoyed verbally walking me through the steps for brushing my teeth! 

Fifth Grade Buddies

On Friday, we enjoyed seeing our fifth grade buddies for the second time this month! In honor of World Water Day, the fifth grade students taught us about the importance of water, and all they had learned during a recent unit on the watershed. They then helped the Kindergarten students brainstorm ways to conserve water and worked together to create a special water project. 🚰

Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to watch us learn, grow, and play in the wonderful world that is K! 🍎📖🚌
