Kindergarten News:
I just wanted to update you on what we are currently learning in class.
Reading- We are learning about fiction and non fiction. In reading we have sorted the books in our library into fiction and non fiction piles. We have also spoken about what makes a book fiction and what makes it non fiction.
Writing- the children are completing their How To Books. They have chosen something they are good at and are writing a step by step book on how to do it. This is different from the List and Label books they wrote a while ago which was one word on a page. In this book the children have written sentences! What an accomplishment! We are soon moving on to Friendly letters, where the children are going to write letters to each other and mail them out. They can't wait to receive their very own mail!
Math- We have completed addition and subtraction, shapes and measurements. We are moving on to time! Don't worry...we always review our past units to make sure it is ALWAYS fresh in our heads.
Science- We finished Force and Motion and are beginning our Life Science Unit where we talk all about plants, animals and more!
Social Studies- We are learning about Bridges and Tunnels
I hope this has given you and inside into what we are learning. These points should help you be able to talk to your children about what they have been up to in Kindergarten!
