Welcome to Mt. Horeb and to our Kindergarten Class! This will be a wonderful year of new beginnings and new adventures. We will learn, grow and build friendships. We will also spend much time fostering social and emotional learning. Thank you for sharing your children with us and entrusting us with their growth!

This week we  will work on the following:

Math-We will finish our lesson on numbers 6-10, counting, recognition and number formation.

 

In Writing -This is our formal writing program. The format of the program is to listen to stories, discuss the story,  make a connection to the story, write about the story and finally share our writing.  Next week we will revisit the two poems: My Crown  and  I Love My Body. Then we will recall what we love about ourselves and write about it.

 

Being a Reader Program-This program is our reading program. We will work in the large group to hear stories and poems read and modeled for us. We will focus on letters, sounds and phonics. We will work on handwriiting, vocab words and high frequency words. Eventually as we get closer to November we will begin small group reading. This week we will read The Big Umbrella once more as we all chorally read it. We will review all vocab words and all sight words through fun games. We will also practice letter formtion for letters i, u.

 

Heggerty Phonics- This is a ten minute phonics drill that has the kids practicing listening for sounds and manipulating words around. We will: supply rhyming words, listening for beginning sounds in words, listening for ending sounds in words, taking away the first word of a compound word to see what word is left, changing the first word of a compound word to change the word entirely., counting  the number of words in a sentence.

 

In Social Studies this week we will focus on what is an election. We will not discuss candidates or who we like better. We will only be dicussing how an election works. We will vote on something for our classroom (ex. playtime choice or a reward choice)
