We are rocking and rolling through our first few weeks of Kindergarten! This week, we finished reading our story “The Little School Bus” and discussed rhyming words, character, and parts of a book. We also learned about the letters Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, and Ee. In Math, we learned how to sort, classify, count, and categorize data. We discussed how things are alike and different, how to sort by more than one attribute, and how to use graphs. In handwriting, we learned the proper way to hold our pencil and began practicing capital letters. In Science, we began discussing what science is and how can we can ask questions about things that we are interested in.
