I seriously cannot believe we are starting the 4th
quarter of kindergarten! It is crazy how the year goes by so fast and we are
going to continue to learn like crazy until we are ready for 1st
grade! I sure hope all of my friends had a fabulous spring break and are ready
for more fun in kindergarten! We will have a busy week for sure! We will be
changing our seats and groups almost everywhere and I am not for sure if they
will come back or not – but in the past I have had some sneaky leprechauns come
into my classroom on St. Patrick’s Day and play tricks on us – so this year I
am going to be better prepared, because we have no time to waste!
In Literacy we will be talking about our country, the great
USA! We will be reading quite a few informational texts that include “Ana Goes
to Washington, D. C.”, “The Best of the West”, “See our Country”, and in our
crabby books “Pack a Bag”. During guided reading your child will read either
“See This” or “Places to See”. We will be learning about the letters y and z and
our new words are “this” and “what”. Our vocabulary words are country, travel,
careful, purpose, and connect. We will continue to blend and listen for certain
sounds as well as change sounds to make new words!
In math we are going to be working on our night sky display
– this is a great tool we use to help us learn more about groups of 10 and
number partners and equations. I think that all of my friends will really like
our display and we will be using it every day during daily math routines. Of
course we will continue to work on story problems and teen numbers too!
During unit studies we will start talking about our body and
what it needs to stay healthy! Now that the weather is nice we will be able to
do a lot more activities outside that will teach us about this important
concept!
In writing we will continue to write stories about our lives
and the things that we like to do. We will review turtle talking and stretching
out words we don’t know how to spell and will even learn about the writing
trait – voice! We will talk a lot about voice and how we can use it to make our
stories even better! My friends will LOVE this writing trait! Before we left
for break we talked a lot about poems and we wrote our own poems and we even
wrote one together...ask your kindergarten kid if they remember it!!
Don't forget to send back your decorated shamrock AND wear green tomorrow just in case those sneaky leprechauns do decide to come visit us!!
Happy Monday!!
Love- Mrs. Schroeder
