This week, we celebrated Earth Day and learned how we can take care of the Earth. Here are some of the 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, reading and writing power words and words with blends/CCVCe words, reading books on RAZkids and answering comprehension questions, and so much more!
In Reading, we listened to and discussed a book about dolphins. We wondered about dolphins and used text features to build knowledge and locate information in our book. We looked at the glossary, index, table of contents, diagrams, and bold words. We reviewed the -ful (full of) suffix during vocabulary and learned the words pointy, diet, playful and active.
We wrapped up our opinion writing during Writing and are excited to revisit writing narratives for the remaining weeks of school!
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 talking about being mindful this week. Mindfulness resources can be found here: Mindfulness Resources
We loved reading together and independently during World Reading Day! We started reading Junie B Jones together (my favorite!) and will continue doing so over these last few weeks.
Looking ahead...
