We had a very busy week! Here are the important things we learned...
We explored books and activities about monsters to get ready for Halloween! Here are some of the centers we engaged in...
In this week’s Second Steps lesson, we learned to use body language and context clues to figure out when someone feels happy. We practiced looking at the person’s face and body, as well as thinking about what’s going on in the situation. Encourage your child to notice when others around them feel happy. Have them practice using body language and context clues to figure out when family members, friends, or characters in books, movies, or on TV might be feeling happy.
In Writing, we wrote stories with the power word "see". We practiced writing from left to write with spaces between each word. We used our word wall to write more words in our stories.
During Reading, we read the story Gossie and made text to self connections. We worked on retelling to build comprehension and understanding. We practiced echo reading to build concepts of print and oral fluency. Our vocabulary words were search, heartbroken, energetic, and enjoy.
Our Math lessons this week focused on comparing numbers using "more than" and "fewer than".
For the next few weeks in our mySci unit, River Rescue, we will figure out key earth science and engineering concepts as we identify the problem of water pollution in our area caused by humans. We will investigate the problem by identifying and sorting different items by their properties, and researching how garbage pollution impacts other living things. We will make connections between how the garbage pollution caused by humans can negatively impact other living things, but also how humans can make choices to help other living things! We will use what we've learned about the problem to develop and test solutions that push and pull objects out of the water. We will explore other creative environmental solutions around the globe, and share our ideas for how to clean up garbage in the Mississippi River.
We had fun watching Room on the Broom with our other Kindergarten friends. Halloween party pics coming soon!
Looking ahead...
