This week in Reading, we read the story “If You Could Go to Antarctica” and talked about what it would be like to go on an Antarctic adventure. We learned about the letter Ee and practiced classifying and categorizing. We learned three new words: from, go, here.

Next week, we will be reading the story “Abuela” and learning about adventures that you can have in the city. We will continue working with the letter Ee and our words: from, go, here. We will also be discussing the setting of a story.

In Math, we continued our topic on Subtraction and working on finding differences using the minus sign.

Next week, we will start working with composing (putting two groups together) and decomposing (taking two groups apart) numbers to 10.

Kindergarten is ready for Spring -- bring on the sunshine and warm weather!

Due to last week's cancellations, we will continue reading the story "One Little Mouse" and learning about adventures that animals can have. We will continue working with Ll blends & words that contain Ll blends: bl (blue), gl (glob), sl (slip), pl (plot), fl (flat), and kl (clap). We will also be practicing our 5 new words: one, two, three, four, and five.

In Math, we will continue working with addition and learning how to write a number sentence using the addition and equal signs.

Today is Day 4 and we have ART.

Last week was an exciting week in Kindergarten! On Wednesday, we participated in a school-wide program called Brainshow Mania. We had a great time showing off our smarts by answering questions in a fun, game-show manner. On Thursday, we were invited to see a play by Mrs. Laudeman’s third grade class. We were a great audience and even got to take home a souvenir: an animal mask made by our third grade friends!! On Friday, we participated in Read Across America. Students from Bloomsburg University came into our classroom and read us a Dr. Seuss book & taught us about the importance of reading.

Last week in Reading, we read the story “My Lucky Day” and talked about lucky adventures. Our letter of the week was Ll and we worked with the words are, that, and do. We also learned about cause and effect: things that happen and the things that cause them to happen.

This week, we will be reading the story “One Little Mouse” and learning about adventures that animals can have.
