Central School

 

 

Welcome to Kindergarten

 

 

 

Being a Reader-Students will continue learning about non-fiction texts. This week we will learn about the Moon.  Students will respond to the non-fiction text with writing about something they learned about the Moon.  We will focus on wondering and review what the table of contents tells us about non-fiction books.  We will also be discussing the importance of diagrams in non-fiction books.

 

Our new vocabulary words for this week are face (2 meanings) and rough

 We will review our older vocabulary words that we have learned this year.

 

We are continuing to practice blends and magic e words.  

 

  Students are working independently on sight words, reading, cooperative game play and handwriting during centers.  The small books that come home should be reread to practice fluency and the sight words learned.  In addition to Being a Reader, I will try to have students bring home a small book on their level on least once a week.  This should be a familiar reread to allow students to practice their reading and fluency.  Be sure to ask your child some questions about the story or have them retell the book to you in their own words.  Please sign after your child reads the book and return to school.

Perviously taught words:  the, is, and, I, see, a, you, me, we, are, can, like, to, he, she, can't, isn't, my, go, down, where, of, by, here, saw, they, little, was, do, said, have, put, come, some, out, look, her, say, what, his, make, want, very, your, again, for, should, could, would, many, there, so, does, from, good, were, people

  

Students will keep their composition books in their backpacks with these words.  They should be "high-fiving" the words each night to get familiar with the words.  Students are not asked to learn the spelling of these words but they should be able to recognize and read these words since they will see them most often throughout their reading and cannot be decoded.

 

Being a Writer-Students are writing sentences independently by sounding out their words and using their sight words on a given topic. Students will begin to learn how to add details to their writing and be encouraged to write more than one sentence on a topic.  

 

In Math, we are continuing going to work on addition and subtraction.  We are highlighting the operation we will be using to help our brain remember if we will be adding or subtracting.  The quiz will be on Thursday.

 

Students should be able to recognize all color words. 

 

Science/SS-We will be learning about the life cycle of a plant and parts of a plant/flower.
