Weekly Academic Happenings: Literacy: Students have been working diligently on decoding various cvc and cvcc words in class. In addition, all students work on memorizing their sight words at one of our literacy centers. We have begun the process of incorporating sight words into editing sentences. This is yet another reason why students should be continually practicing these words at home so they can become more automatic. Your child has participated in several sight word games that merge fun hands on learning with academics. *Coming up this week will be 3 new sight words and the introduction to digraphs Math: During our math block, we have been investigating pan balances, counting by 2's and continuing to build fact fluency. By the end of Kindergarten, all students need to be able to automatically add and subtract up to five. You will see on several worksheets going home that students have been practicing these facts as well as fact fluency with higher numbers as well. With the help of Miss M, the students and I have been talking about the differences between 2D and 3D shapes. We have completed several different sorts and the students are becoming more familiar! Health Lesson: On Friday, Mrs. Barry (our school nurse) came in to class to present a new health lesson. She talked with students about ways to stay healthy such as washing hands and where the best place to sneeze is. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Enrichment Day: Science: We have moved into a new unit talking about States of Matter and Properties. Students are becoming more familiar with how to classify objects and look at texture, size, color etc. within the object itself.
