Week of September 14

   

Our Resources for the week are: Monday=1-18 MUSIC & 19-37 have P.E., Tuesday=ART, Thursday=MUSIC and Friday= 1-18 P.E.& 19-37 are in the classroom.

Friday is Superhero T-shirt Day. :)  (Wear clothes to show everyone who your favorite Superhero is!!) Sydney is bringing Fun Friday Snacks and Gabriel is joining the 6-year-old Club!
Also, all Scholastic Book Orders need to be submitted online or sent to school in your child's blue folder by Friday, September 18. We will be submitting the order after school that day.

**As the students use I-ready for blended learning,  follow-up at home is great. If you allow your child to use I-ready at home please do not help them with the lesson. Watch and look for weaknesses and strengths as they use the program. Also, we are teaching students to use their username and password. Let them practice logging in at home. They will pick it up quickly!**

Handwriting/Writing:

We will continue to practice letter formations for our first and last names. (This quarter your child receives a grade for writing their first name with an uppercase letter and the rest lowercase.)  Along with letters Oo, Gg and Hh. We will continue discussing Kindergarten Writing- drawing detailed people, adding a setting to our pictures and coloring, NOT scribbling. Discuss the different things your child can write about and practice telling a story about their picture. Ex. "My dad and I went fishing in a boat and he caught a big fish. It was the best day ever!"

The students have enjoyed watching Jack Hartmann's letter sounds video. Get ready to listen to your child sing away! :)


Math: 
Writing numbers correctly is important! This week we are focused on writing numbers 0-5, making groups and composing and decomposing these numbers. Here is a number rhyme video that’s fun to use! 

Science:

We love Mr. R’s Sing Along Songs in Kindergarten! Here is a fun one about the 5 senses. This week we will explore the sense of touch and the sense of hearing.

Reading:

Sight Words for the week are: black, white, can, like. We will be reviewing Concepts About Print- identifying front cover, back cover, spine, etc.  Reading will be following along with Science for a bit... :) We will have an overview of the Five Senses and then we will discuss the sense of Sight and Hearing in detail. We will also be making entries in our Reading Journals about things that we can see/hear/feel around us in the classroom, along with things we hear that are loud and soft. :) Read the poem "My Senses Are Amazing" to your child and then discuss the things that each sense does. 

We will be watching these video's by Mr.R in class. Watch them and enjoy, you'll find yourself singing with your child. :)
