: We started our Nonfiction unit and discussed the difference between
Fiction and Nonfiction. We also learned about Nonfiction Text Features and tried to point them out in various nonfiction books.
: We have been working on long vowels and the Silent E and learned how it makes the vowel say its name.
Writing : We launched our “How To” writing unit! We are reading a lot of
“how-to” books, while thinking about sequence and the order steps have to be taken for a task to be completed. Point out different instructions, recipes, lists of materials, rules to your kinder and help them make important literacy connections!
Words Their Way: We are working on individuals sorts to practice specific skills- short vowels, blends, digraphs, and long vowels.
Math : We have been exploring measurement through weight and length.
: We are still in our
Friends units and the kids made friendship keychains to put on their backpacks!
Science: We are continuing with our Earth
Science unit and have been studying different types of weather and the four seasons.
