Another week of Kindergarten is beginning again and there is NO school on Friday, October 23rd due to a teacher Professional Development Day!
Joke of the week: Why did the employee get fired from the calendar factory?
Language Arts- We are continuing to learn in our Unit 1 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 the letter Yy, Zz, and the Mm sound. Our topic for the week is different kinds of work, and our essential question is: What kinds of work do people do? We will read stories such as Pizza at Sally’s, Everybody Works, The Elves and the Shoemaker, as well as The Lion and the Mouse. As we read our stories this week we will focus on text and graphic features, genre, and analyzing what we read.
Our fourth and final sight word of Unit 1 is “and”, 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 “and” worksheets to ensure the children continue to identify and spell it!
Last week we were learning that words that name people, places, things, and animals are called nouns, and this week we will learn about action verbs in the present tense.
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: beginning sounds, and nouns!
Math- The children will take their second math test this week on Tuesday, October 20th! We will send home their class worksheets to study from! Then we will begin Chapter 3, Represent, Count, and Write Numbers 6 to 9.
Jesus Time- This week we will continue to enjoy Ms. Vollono’s children’s Bible, reading the stories and watching videos to reinforce what we read!
Science: This week we will read an October scholastic about voting!
Answer: He took a day off! 
Have a great week!
