We are so excited to begin another week in Kindergarten! Joke of the week: Which pet is the loudest?
Language Arts- We are continuing to learn in our Journeys Language Arts book. This week we will be opening by counting words in oral sentences, listening and identifying beginning sounds, sight words, and vocabulary. This week we will review letters Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, and Yy. Our topic for the week is pets, and our essential question is: Why do people have to take care of their pets? We will read stories such as I Have a Pet!, Please, Puppy, Please, and Different Kinds of Dogs. As we read our stories this week we will focus on predicting, understanding story structure, conclusions and clarifying what we read.
Our third sight word we are learning is “the”, we will learn how to say it, spell it, and most importantly identify it throughout the stories we read and sentences we make. This week I will send home a “the” worksheet to ensure the children continue to identify and spell it!
Last week we were learning that words that name people and places are nouns, and this week we will learn that words that name animals and things are also nouns. We will identify different animals and things and label them as nouns.
Language Arts Centers- This will be our second week of centers and the children are enjoying them very much! I set a timer and the students have 10-15 minutes to complete their center of that day! This weeks center topics are: rhyming, beginning sounds, sight words, and nouns!
Math- This week we are finishing Chapter 2, Comparing Numbers to 5, and will take our second math test on Wednesday, October 9th!
Jesus Time- This week we will be diving into our second religion book God Bless Families, reading the passages and completing the sticker activities!
Science: This week we will read our first October scholastic about fall!
This week I will send home the permission slip for our farm field trip which is on October 23rd @ 10am! We have also come into a shortage of glue sticks, I believe only glue bottles were on the supply list, with that being said if you have any extra glue sticks at home or would like to donate glue sticks to our classroom, it would be greatly appreciated!
Have a wonderful week!
