Readers' Workshop:
Writers' Workshop:
In writer's workshop, we have been super busy! Kindergarteners are working on publishing their writing. They've worked on many different pattern books. Now, they're picking the one they're most proud of to share with our 3rd grade-reading buddies. It will be very fun to see everyone's finished products!
Math Workshop:
Your children have been busy with math as well! We've done a lot! Last week and this week, we’ve worked with ten frames and did a little bit of work with double ten frames. We’ve worked on different ways to represent numbers and have played a number of games involving ten frames. Kindergarteners did well with these! We also did a fun activity with shapes. We talked about how shapes are all around us! Basically, everything is made of shapes. We went on a shape walk on the playground and found many different shapes outside! Everyone enjoyed that! Yesterday, we introduced the “equal” symbol and kindergarteners did a fun activity with popsicle sticks to practice showing equal numbers. Today, we introduced the addition symbol and everyone got to make their very own “Gus the Plus.” This was very fun! You will see them at home shortly!
Science:
This week we jumped back into science! On Monday, we talked about things that move! As a class, we brainstormed a list of things that move. Then, we tested how different things move such as, a ball, a car, a plane, a snake, a paperclip, etc. We talked about what makes things move (pushing things (force), blowing on things, etc.) Everyone was very engaged during this! It was a very fun topic. Ask your children about it!
Have a great weekend! :-) Miss Lempert
