Week in Review ~ May 2nd - 6th

 

What a rainy and cold week it was! Luckily we were able to have outdoor recess every day this week except Monday.

In ELA we finished up Unit 9 by talking about natural resources. Our vocabulary words were natural resources, create, designs, weave, and knowledge. We read the stories "Bread Comes to Life," "Spider Woman Teaches the Navajo," and "Nature Artists." We introduced the long o sound as in bone and the sight words where and look were introduced as well. In learning centers we wrote about what is something new we can make from something in nature, sorted pictures by the long and short o sound and worked on our new sight words.

In Math we finished up Topic 10 where we composed and decomposed numbers 11-19. Next week we will move into Topic 11 where we will be working on numbers to 100. As a reminder, by the end of kindergarten we would like all students to master counting to 100. Counting can be done anywhere; the car, at home, in the grocery store. So ask your K2er to count for you and see how high they can count to.

As a reminder, our field trip to the EcoTarium is this coming Tuesday. Thankfully it looks like the cold and rainy weather pattern is on its way out this weekend and it will be sunny and warmer for our trip. Please be sure your child wears sneakers and comfy clothes for a day of walking.

Last, I'd like to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of the K2 moms...I hope your day is wonderful!
