Hello Kindergarten Families,
Next week, we will continue to talk about the weather. We have been memorizing the poems for each type of cloud formation. We will also do some fun activities with Leprechauns since St. Patrick's day is Saturday March 17. I'm Irish. I will be showing the map of Ireland and where my family are from. As you know, we Irish call it St. Paddy's Day. We'll learn to do a little Irish jig.
Word wall word: because
Writers workshop: We will begin opinion writing. We will discuss what we think is the best desserts. The children will be taking a survey to see what the class thinks is the best dessert. Then they will try to persuade the class into thinking that their favorite dessert is the best. In a model writing, students will write how to eat a chocolate coin.
Readers workshop: Our teaching point will be how to read long words. I will be discussing syllables and how to break a word up into syllables. Some students say that they can not read a long word. The tool is how can you shorten the word to make it less scary.
In math, we will continue designing shapes and talking about shapes. Students will be playing games, drawing, shaping, and comparing shapes.
