Hi Kindergarten Families,
Since we only have school on Monday and Tuesday this week, we’ll spend time reviewing prior concepts and Thanksgiving activities. With Thanksgiving on my mind, I’d like to thank all of you who have volunteered/donated to our class in many different ways this year. Without your support we would not be able to do so many exciting activities in our class. I am very thankful for each and every one of you and your wonderful children!
On Tuesday, we will have our Writers' Workshop celebration. We will be having Author's Chair and sharing our stories.
Word wall word: Review all Word Wall Words
After our Thanksgiving break, we will start our unit on Gingerbread Man stories. We will read a variety Gingerbread Man stories that are very different. We will be comparing the different settings, characters, and events. Every year, we find more stories with a Gingerbread theme! If you have any Gingerbread stories at home, please send in to share. Besides comparing stories, we will measure different sizes of a Gingerbread Man, Boy, and Baby with marshmallows. We decorate our own Gingerbread Boy/or Girl and a gingerbread house. We also have a couple math games.
In math, we are working on fact families and how numbers are related. We have been using a number line to add and subtract. We will begin to focus on place value and understand that the teen numbers have a group of ten with some extra. In counting collections, students have been adding by 1's, 2', 5's, and 10's. This is something you can do at home too!!!!
Upcoming events:
December 4 - Wednesday Assembly
December 19 - Winter Party in classroom (More info coming)
December 20- No School (Teacher work day)
I wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving filled with friends, family, and all the things that you love!
Ms. Werner
