It was so nice to see families again at Open House. Thank you for those that came to hear about how we do things here at Addison and in Kindergarten at Addison.
During reading this week we discussed sharing. Sharing can be a challenging skill at this age. They begin to learn that their actions have an impact on others: good and bad. Our focus this week is all about sharing. We read and discussed Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. Throughout the week we discussed why it is important to share. How do we feel when we do or don’t share? What does it mean to share? Sharing is a great value to have and it allows us to feel good about ourselves.
Vocabulary from Rainbow Fish:
Glide: To move smoothly, without effort
Shimmer: To shine with a flickering light
Shocked: A sudden feeling
Admire: To look at with delight
Wise: Smart
2. Try to sound out some words.
3. Learn their sight words.
4. Believe they can do it!
(We need to get rid of the "I can't" attitude)
One of our class rules is to always try our best!
We learned about the difference between letters, words and sentences.
Math: We talked about why we count (to tell how many) and when we count. This week was all about numbers 0-5. We counted, recognized and wrote numbers 0-5.
In this unit students will:
• Count to 100 by ones
• Count on from any given number between 0 and 100
• Write numbers up to 10
• Use numbers, including written numerals, to represent quantities
• Count out a given number of objects
• Quickly recognize the cardinalities of small sets of objects
Writing: We began handwriting and examined tall, small and fall letters.
You might want to send in a spare set of clothing to keep here in their backpacks just in case an accident happens.
We can always use left over arts and crafts materials if you come across any, please send them in.
