Math: We completed unit three, Five and
Ten Relationships on Thursday. We began work in our fourth unit, Addition and Subtraction
Facts to 12. Students are using ten-frames to explain their thinking and
evaluate number relationships.
We are enjoying a fun Halloween themed
math unit called, Franken-number. We
used “Frankenlines”to solve math problems using Frankenstein number lines and
made Frankenstein craft to go with it.
Check them out below! Next week
we will play a series of Franken-number math games to go with our math work.
Phonics: This week we continued work with digraphs. We worked to master the ck spelling at the
end of words after a short vowel. We
also worked on scooping with the short story, “Cod Fish” as a group. On Monday, students will have an assessment
to wrap up our third unit, which focused on digraphs. In our new unit we will be focusing on the
bonus letters spelling rule (pill,
cuff, fuss) and the glued sound all like in ball. This is new material
that has not been previously taught in Kindergarten.
Religion: Next week students will learn about Jesus and ministry and
teachings through acting out bible stories.
Have a great weekend!
