Friday Note 11-17-17
Events of the Week:
Math: We continued our topic on measurement and worked on comparing objects. We learned comparing words such as enough, not enough, more than, less than, same as, and fewer. We have also continued to review numbers 0-10. If your child has not mastered identifying these numbers, please continue to work with them at home. I will work with them in small groups and then reassess in the next couple of weeks.
- Language Workshop: We read several different versions of the book The Three Little Pigs. We focused on story elements, such as characters, settings, and major events. We introduced vocabulary words that are in the story, such as: trot, sturdy, and furious. We also practiced retelling the story by telling what happened in the beginning, the middle, and the end. The students also enjoyed wolf’s version of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. Students did a good job comparing and contrasting the different versions of the book.
- Writing Workshop: We learned the sight word “with”. We practiced stretching sounds as we wrote sentences about the pigs and the wolf. The students are practicing using spaces between words, a capital letter at the beginning, and an ending mark at the end of each sentence.
- Reading Workshop: We are working in literacy centers independently while I am working with students in small groups. We used a book called What I Like to practice the reading strategies we have already learned. Your child has this book in their book bag to continue to practice reading during independent reading time and rest time. Please encourage your child to use these reading strategies when reading at home.
- Content: We read several nonfiction books about Thanksgiving and talked a lot about the first Thanksgiving and where the holiday came from.We made macaroni necklaces to trade with the other kindergarten classes. During lunch we traded our necklace with the kindergarten class that sat across from us. Then all the kindergarten classes got together and we had our Share Feast. The kindergartners had a great time sharing and trading.

Picture Retake Information
If you would like for your child to have his/her picture retaken, please return the original picture package. The information on the package is needed so that the photographer knows what to re-enter in the system to ensure you get the same package you ordered. Thanks!
