Below is what we will be focusing on in class:
Reading: We will be reading books about Earth Day and recycling. On Tuesday we will be Campus Cleaners and pick up garbage on the Kindergarten Playground. Our Word Family is the -an family, our blend is cr-, our vowel focus is letter i (short sound & long sound) and our new Sight Words are them, out, would, him. Here is a link to the cr- blend power point I made. :)
At home, discuss with your child what they learned about Earth Day and what they are going to do to protect the Earth. Then discuss recycling with your child and find items in the house that can be recycled.
Writing: We are finishing up with Narratives on Easter and then we will be writing them about Earth Day. The students are doing great writing!! Most stretch every single word from the beginning through the middle down to the end. Spaces are being used continually throughout the piece. Now I am stressing the use of capitilazation at the beginning of every sentence and punctuation at the end of every sentence.
At home, please remind your child of the same items. If they are forgetting to do them, please reinforce the importance of them in their writing. :)
Science/Social Studies:
We are finishing up the Unit on Living and Non-Living Things and I'm going to incorporate Earth Day into Science too. We will be making an Earth Day craft, watching an Earth Day Recycling video and having lots of discussions.
On Friday the class will be taking the Test for Living and Non-Living.
On Friday the class will be taking the Test for Living and Non-Living.
At home, discuss what living things need to survive. The differences between living and non-living plants and animals. Then review the different movements living things can do~ swim, fly, walk, run.
Math: We are continuing with subtraction. There is still a little bit of confusion... I find that the biggest trouble is remembering the number for the whole group gets written first. As soon as the students figure that out/ or are told. they can complete the equation and find the difference.
At home, continuing practicing subtraction by having your child write the equation for the problem you give them. The more you practice the easier the test will be for them... We should be taking the test in about a week.
