A Peek at our Week
Reading: We are wrapping up our
Fiction unit and practiced making
connections to different books, along with
retelling a story using important details
from it. We learned we can use our 5
fingers to help us retell our stories.
Phonics: (A-Z, or, ar, ur, ir, er, ch, sh, th,
wh, ing, ed, ai, ee, ie, oa, ue, ou, ow, oy, oi,
oo, blends) Please continue to practice all
of the sounds including those tricky sounds.
Writing: Our focus is still on making and
writing complete sentences. We have been
working hard in our Squiggle Books. Ask
your kinder all about it!
Words Their Way: We are working on
individuals sorts to practice specific skills.
Math: We started our unit in graphing
and learned what we can use graphs for.
Please play the math game throughout the
week and sign and return the bottom
portion on Friday in their purple folders.
