Ribbit Ribbit

                                             

This week we learned about the life cycle of a frog.  Here are some of the other important things we learned...


Our centers this week included sequencing the life cycle of a frog, finding, reading and writing words with silent e and long vowels, writing words with blends, playing various learning games, and writing what we've learned about frogs.  

We continued to work on words with long vowels with a silent e during Phonics. We also learned about using the letter "y" for the long "i" sound.  

During Reading, we spent time with shared reading books, focusing on various skills. Please continue reading with your child at home. 

We kept up our work on numbers to 100 during Math and started to revisit addition and subtraction. 

In Science, we continued to learn about the temperature and the weather.  This will be our focus for the remainder of our year.  

We worked on making our writing more persuasive and convincing during Writing.  We talked about adding more details to make our opinions better to read.  Please keep writing with your child at home.

Earth Day and Frogs


This week we learned about Earth Day in preparation for next week. Here are some of the other important things we learned...

Our centers this week included playing various literacy games that targeted individual skills that we are working on in reading groups, writing about ways to take care of the Earth, Nature walk and find, reading and writing power words and words with blends/CCVCe words, reading books on RAZkids and answering comprehension questions, and so much more!

In Phonics we reviewed CCVe words and practiced all of the sight words we have learned this year. We will continue reviewing in the coming weeks. 

We learned more about temperature during Science and talked about the difference in temperature in the sun and in the shade. We discussed the different seasons and what the weather patterns we see throughout the year. 

In Reading, we did practiced individual reading, partner reading, and decodable books. 

We started a new Math unit and will be focusing on numbers to 100 for the last few weeks of Kindergarten. This week, we looked at numbers 21-50 and practiced reading, writing, and counting.

We continued our unit on opinion writing this week! We worked on adding more details, starting sentences with capital letters and ending with punctuation. 

We also had so much fun celebrating all the different cultures here at Reed during the passport parade and passport night. We also got to make signs and send off a some students here at Reed that participated in the Special Olympics. 



Looking ahead...
