We are enjoying our start to Kindergarten! We have become acquainted with our classroom, teachers, classmates, and our daily routines. As we continue each week we add to our learning topics, activities, and enjoyment.
Here is a brief overview of what we will be learning this week.
Language Arts- Letters A, B, C, D, and E. We are reviewing each letter, repeating their sounds, watching videos, and tracing and writing the upper and lowercase letters. We are also dabbling into rhyming, and listening to back to school read alouds!
Math- We love to count the days of school by putting a dot on our ten pen (frame) each school day. Along with the number of schools day we discuss and learn about that number. This week we will be identifying, writing, creating ten pens, and cube trains for numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
To gauge where the children are academically we are assessing them in language arts and math. There is nothing to study, this is just to see where the children are after last year and to determine how to proceed!
Lastly, we have been completing our back to school backpack craft. This allows the teachers and the students to get to know one another. They children have told us their favorite thing to do in school, color, food, and birthday! Those will soon be hanging outside our classroom!
