Another week has come and gone in kindergarten! This was my last full week with students, Mrs. Sinder will be back on Tuesday! Monday is our 60thday of school. We’ve been practicing many different ways to count to 60 over the past few weeks. To celebrate, we are going to wear 60’s themed clothing on Monday. Student’s don’t have to dress like the 60’s if they don’t want to. J
In math this week, students worked on a rich math problem and learned two new games! On Monday, students worked on a rich math problem similar to the panther problem and 5 pumpkins problem we did a few weeks ago. Students had to figure out how many ways 6 or 8 pigs could be in a barn or in an open space. The two games we learned this week were “Heads and Tails” and “Counters in the Cup.” Both games required students to use math manipulatives and figure out how many were heads/tails or how many counters were hidden under a cup. Next week, students will learn two new games and continue working on counting.
Students worked on their adjective flip book this week! On Monday students learned what an adjective is, and we made a list of adjectives as a class. Students also learned what an antonym is and we began brainstorming some antonyms that went along with the adjectives we brainstormed as a class. On Wednesday and Thursday, students chose adjective/antonym pairs and made a flip book, they turned out really well!
I also began meeting with students this week in guided reading groups. Today is the first Friday where students will be bringing “Just Right” books home. In the next few weeks, students will be bringing home a variety of “Just Right” books that they can read at home over the weekend and in class throughout the week! The books will come home in students’ “I Can Read” binders every Friday and come back to school in the binder on the following Monday.
Have a great weekend!
Important dates to remember:
11/12: Dress like the 60’s!
11/13: Welcome Back Mrs. Snider!
11/21-23: Thanksgiving Break No School!
