Mrs. Vaughn's Kindergarten

Friday Note 2/9/18

This week:

• Math— We continued working with addition stories.

• Language Workshop— We read different books about Valentine’s Day.  We also used PebbleGo to learn the history behind Valentine’s Day.  

• Writing Workshop—We worked on expanding our writing. We are working on writing more than one sentence on the same topic and adding details.  
• Reading Workshop—Students are working daily in Literacy Centers.  While students are working independently, I am meeting with small groups to focus on specific reading skills and strategies.  During independent reading time, students are practicing the skills they are learning during small groups and using their reading strategies.  
• Word Study—We continued segmenting and blending phoneme sounds this week.  We learned to pronounce the beginning, middle and ending of words and then blend them back together.
