Fun Friday is Patriotic Day!! Brian will be bringing in Fun Friday Snacks. :)

MATH
We are starting the week off with an exciting day of 100! Counting to 100 by ones and tens is a Kindergarten benchmark and I am so happy that over 75% of our class has already mastered this goal! We are working on counting by tens starting at any number. For example, 3, 13, 23, 33 etc. After an eventful Monday we will return to Geometry. Working with hexagons and creating larger shapes out of smaller shapes will be our focus. Here is a great counting by tens video we just found. Enjoy!

ELA

The sight words we are focusing on are little, if, called and her.  During skills we are doing lots of sound work!! We will practice rhyming through word families. The word family for this week is -ing. (Practice asking your child what words rhyme with "ring." Please make sure all their responses are real words~ do not accept "fing" or "jing" as an answer.) We will practice segmenting sounds in words ("chopping it up"), an example is "dog." When the students segment this word we expect to hear three separate sounds= /d/  /o/  /g/. We will be practicing producing ending sounds for words and writing lowercase letters. 




Our Reading lesson for this week and rolling into next week is reviewing characters, setting and major events in a story. Along with retelling a familiar story. We will be reviewing this standard by using the book RUN AWAY! by Gerald McDermott. It is based off of a Kootenai Tale about a Little Rabbit and other animals. We will practice retelling the story daily with pictures and our sequencing vocabulary~ First, Next, Then, Last, Finally, etc.
**I want all the students to do well on this. So instead of rushing to test their ability to retell the story this week, I will be rolling the story into next week. So don't chuckle if my blog post is exactly the same. haha**

Our writing will be an informative piece about the steps we take to get dressed in the morning. Practice discussing the steps with your child so that they are prepared to share on Friday and get on with the writing.  :)
**PLEASE make sure your child does their writing homework. They need this practice! Parents can help their child sound out the words, but do not tell them what to write or write for them. 

SCIENCE
We will continue to explore size relative to where an object is located compared to where we are standing.
