Week in Review ~ September 10 - 14

We made it through our first full week of Kindergarten and boy were we busy! In ELA our essential question was "How is everyone special?" We talked about how we are all different but that makes each one of us special in our own way. We read the stories Animals in the Park: An ABC Book and The Ugly Duckling and we introduced the first sight word, I. We also learned the sound for 10 letters: p, b, t, d, f, v, s, z, k, and g. In learning centers we sorted letters and words, practiced writing our names with an uppercase at the beginning and the rest lowercase, wrote our first sentence and worked on many alphabet activities.

In Math we started Topic 1 titled numbers 0 to 5.  In this topic we will count, read and write the numbers 0 to 5.  We also introduced some number poems for numbers 1, 2 and 3 to help the K2ers remember how to form them correctly.  We will work on the poems for 4 and 5 next week.  Any number writing practice at home would be very helpful.

Monday night, from 5:30 - 7:30, is Open House at Johnny Appleseed. This is a great opportunity to have your child bring you to the classroom to see what we have been working on so far, as well as walk you around the school to see the various places they go during the week.  I hope to see you Monday night. 

Thank you for the MANY donations to our classroom...it is greatly appreciated!
