What’s happening in Kindergarten this week?
Reading: Readers are looking closely at the words in their books rather than relying on pictures to help figure out tricky words! We will get ready to read our new books by previewing pages to look for words we know (our sight words!) and checking the whole picture to find clues about our words.
**I will be sending home a "Matching Books to Readers" sheet in your child's book bag. Refer to this sheet for tips and information about your child's current reading level. Feel free to keep these sheets at home!

Writing: We will study other How-To books to see how we can make ours even better! Students will learn to use the word ‘You’ when writing a book of directions. We will focus on choosing descriptive words and giving our readers warnings, suggestions, and tips just like in published How-To books.
Math: Students are exploring sorting, equal and not equal, addition, teen numbers, and shapes this week. Ask your child to sort things around the house with you and DESCRIBE the attributes of the objects. The math talk is the most important part of the activity!
- Students will use dice to compare numbers with equal and not equal signs.
- Using a variety of math shapes, students will sort and ask partners to describe why the shapes are sorted that way. Then they will play, "What's Missing". Partners place objects on a grid. Partner 1 removes an object. Partner 2 guesses which object was missing using positional words. (i.e. The blue square below the orange triangle is missing.)
- Students will choose a domino and add the numbers they see. Students will practice writing the equation.
- We will build teen numbers using tiles, five groups, and ten strips. Using the different types of number groups will help the students to group numbers when counting and visualizing.
Word Study: Our sight words for the week are he, she, did, help, & make. One way we work on sight words at school is to look, say, cover, write, then check the word. Try it out at home!
Social Studies : We explored families using the iPads last week. We looked up information using Pebblego.
