What We
Are Learning
Reading:
We continued to build stamina
during Work on Writing and Read to Self. We also learned how to take a picture
walk and make predictions.
Alphabet:
We learned how to identify and write the letters Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww & Xx. We
rotated through several centers to practice them. Ask your child if they
enjoyed using the Smart Board during one of the centers to practice our popcorn
words
Writing: We
practiced using the popcorn words in our writing this week. We also learned that when you are trying to
spell a tricky word, you try your best and forget the rest!
Math:
During math this week, we learned how to identify and write numbers 6-9. We rotated
through math centers to help us practice. Ask your child which activity they
enjoyed the most (iPads, creating a numbers book, numbers glue/paint crafts, or
Play-Doh).
Theme:
We continued our Apples unit. We
explored what apples look like on the inside, tasted apples and graphed our
favorite type, and made homemade applesauce. Thank you all for the apple donations.
Orchard Hills 5K
The Fifth Annual “Run for the Orchard” 5K Walk/Run will
be held September 27, 2014 at Orchard Hills so mark your calendars! I promise
you and your family will have fun! I can’t wait to see you there!
Emergency Drills
On
Friday, we practiced what to do in case of a tornado, a fire, an earthquake or if
an intruder entered our school. This can be a very scary experience for
Kindergarteners. We spoke extensively
about how this is just practice so we are prepared. Feel free to have another discussion at home
to ease their anxiety.
Popcorn Words
Popcorn
words are words that “pop-up” a lot when we read. These are high frequency
words that your child needs to be able to read automatically without using a
strategy to figure them out.
This week’s words:
I, see, & am
Previous words:
we, to, the, is, my, can,
me, & go
