October 2nd Newsletter

What we have been learning... 

ELA

We practiced more of our Daily 5 routine which included word work activities, and listening to reading.  We practiced rhyming and listening for beginning sounds, segmenting and blending compound words.  

 

Math

Students learned to look for small groups of objects  and name how many without counting. We developed one to one correspondence and learned to act out number stories. 


Writing

The students took turns telling stories aloud about everyday things.  They also wrote in their journals about their feelings and learned to capitalize the first letter of a sentence.  


P2

We learned about being open-minded and how much fun it can be to try new things.  We also learned that it’s important to be optimistic about the future and not give up hope that good things will happen.

  Kindergarten News Thank you Thank you so much for all of the parents that were able to come to Sarett with us. We learned about different kinds of animals and what they do to get food and stay safe. We also took a walk and listened for birds, noticed plants, and looked for signs of animals. ELA This week students are identifying cause and effect in pictures and in text.  We learned that the words "if" and “so” are signal words to help us find “cause and effect”.  We also practiced making connections to deepen our understanding of the text.   Our spelling words are: yet, tip, vet, van, Val, hug Math   Students are identifying shapes as flat (2D) or solid (3D) as they build and sort shapes.  They are learning the names of common 3 dimensional shapes.  Students were also introduced to the language to compare weight and capacity.

ELA We performed Reader’s Theater this week and used characters’ words and actions to determine what they like and how they feel. Then we read aloud using “expression” to show understanding of the text and the characters.  Our spelling words are: sip, did, mix, box, fox, wax Math   Students are building with a given number of solid shapes.

So much to Mrs. Everhart and all of the parents that helped out at the Halloween party!  You did such a great job creating a very fun day for us all!  The kids had such a great time and it was so nice to see so many of you during our parade. ELA This week we enjoyed reading The Three Little Pigs.  We reviewed the concepts of print, analyzed the characters of the pigs and the wolf, and retold the story by stating what happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  We also read many different versions of the story and compared how they were the same and different. We decided if the wolf was really bad or just misunderstood! Math We learned to count and draw a given number of objects.  Writing We finished writing our list and label books this week and ...
