We had another busy week in KS! Here are some of the very important things we learned...
We started our unit on Community Helpers! We learned about the various important helpers in our community and what they do to help us. Ask your child to teach you about a few of them!
Our centers this week included finding community helpers and writing their beginning sounds, writing power words on Magna Doodles, practicing beginning sounds, matching community helper tools, and writing "I am" sentences.
During reading this week, we reviewed the concept of rhyme and identified rhyming words in the book Hands Can. We continued to build our repertoire or high frequency words in preparation for small group reading. This week, we reviewed the word "can". We identified the beginning sound in spoken words and sorted pictures by beginning sound.
During Phonics, we learned the letters and sounds for Cc, Pp, and Dd. We worked on the power words "see" and "are". We also worked on beginning sounds and blending sounds to read words.
We continued building our math skills as we explored counting and numbers to 10. We practiced counting, recognizing and writing numbers, comparing quantities, and understanding how numbers represent how many objects are in a group. Through hands-on activities, math games, and lots of math talk, we will develop a strong understanding of numbers and build confidence as mathematicians!
We continued our narrative unit during Writing. We listened to and discussed the story The Red Dragon and generated a list of objects that are red. We contributed to a shared story about a color, drew and wrote about a color, and labeled objects in our drawings. We identified and discussed nouns and continued to explore spelling-sound relationships during Shared Writing. We also shared our writing with our partners.
During Science, we started talking about what it means to be a scientist and what a scientist does! We practiced being scientists in the Play Lab!
We visited the Play Lab and spent time in Math groups. Pics of us in the Lab can be found in this folder.
