Next week in Reading we will continue with Unit 5, Going Places. We will be reading the story Mayday! Mayday! and discussing different forms of emergency transportation. Students will review the consonant X. We will also discuss cause and effect.
In Phonics we will be learning about long vowels. The rule for long vowels is when a vowel is not followed by a consonant it is long (we code it with a macron). I will no longer be sending home word lists. I will be assessing students’ on their ability to decode and blend the words using their phonics skills with no practice.
In math, we will be working with numbers. We will practice counting forward and backward, comparing smaller and larger numbers, and identifying numbers. Please remember that ALL students should be able to count to 100 by First grade! Please practice this skill if your child hasn’t mastered it yet!
We have been working on our Science unit, “Animals Two by Two.” Our investigation this week focused on another one of our class pets; snails.
We celebrated “Queen Day” on Wednesday and all the girls looked very beautiful! On Thursday, all the boys and girls pulled out their nicest clothes to attend the wedding of Q and U! It was a fabulous day in Kindergarten!
