Hello Families,
We had a busy week in Kindergarten! We started practicing songs and poems for our promotion ceremony! This class loves to perform and they are excited to have a promotion ceremony on May 28th at 8:15! Please mark your calendar!
Word Wall Words: "saw", "make"
In Writer's Workshop, the class completed their opinion writing. They wrote about how to clean our school or what needs to be fixed and wrote to Ms. Green. Some other persuasive writing pieces were writing about favorite pet or dessert. The students stated their opinion, gave 2-3 reasons to support their opinion, and some offered a solution to solve the problem. This is one of my favorite writing pieces!
In Reader's Workshop, students will learn how to scan the pages of a book to locate known words that can help them read words in a snap!
In Math, the students are becoming experts at solving word problems. Wow! Most students are able to show at least 3 strategies on their paper. Most students are making an effort to solve the challenging words problems. We tie this in with having growth mindset by trying new things and giving their best effort. Our brains grow when we make mistakes so most students are feeling comfortable making an effort to solve the "challenge" work.
We will be doing a fun "Growing Up" book this month. Please send in a baby picture of your child (no larger than 4 x 6) that can be used for a writing assignment. You will not be getting these back so please send one in that you can part with by May 14. Thank you!
It would also be helpful to review our classroom guidelines during this time:
- Raise your hand if you have a question or comment.
- Walk in the classroom and in the halls.
- Respect everyone and everything.
- BE KIND.
Thank you,
Mrs. Sandman
