Mrs. Uss and her Kindergarten Class
The year has gone by so quickly and Kindergarten students have been busy learning many new concepts.Some of the concepts learned included, Math, addition, subtraction, two and three dimentional shapes, measurement, and numbers to 100, Language Arts, high frequency words, phonics and decoding, reading fluency, stories that were fiction and non-fiction, story comprehension, grammer, and writing, letters, words, numbers and sentences.Some of the topics we’ve explored in Science are living and non-living creatures, different types of water, how plants grow, and the stages of a butterfly.Each year I ask each student to tell me their favorite thing in Kindergarten. It is always interesting to me to learn what my students have chosen.These are the responses for this year:
Alex- I liked going to the playground and playing Skylanders.
Sofia- I liked watching Peppa Pig at dismissal.
Isaiah- I liked playing on the playground.
Omarion- I liked playing basketball in the Gym.
Theodore- I liked playing the bug game on the computer.
Amari- I liked going to the pumpkin farm.
Patrick- I liked our field trip to the dentist.
Mariah- I liked learning about Math.
Benny- I liked learning about Math.
Luke- I liked Relative’s Day.
Kylie- I liked reading.
Ben- I liked going to Gym.
Abigail- I liked going to the pumpkin farm.
It is interesting to note the varied responses, and to observe that over the years children are still children. They still are learning through social interaction and by “hands on activities” along with academics.
I pray that we, as teachers and staff at Trinity, will be able to continue to instill a love of learning in our students in this Christian environment called Trinity.
Remember: One song can change a moment, one idea can change a world, one step can start a journey, but one PRAYER can change the impossible!
Please pray for Trinity Lutheran Church and School!
