Kindergarten News
Week of Dec. 1st-5th,
2014
Theme: Holiday Time!
Reading: This week we will continue to
enjoy the many versions of a favorite tale, The Gingerbread Man, focusing
on retelling using story arcs! Creating story arcs will aide us as
we write our own narratives.
Writing: The children are doing a wonderful job making their own
books. We continue to focus on use of capitals, periods, and spacing!
We will continue to add details to make our writing more interesting. As
we enjoy read alouds, we notice things we can add to our own stories such as,
illustrations that show movement, sound words, speech bubbles, and pictures that
spread across two pages- to name a just a
few!

Study: Now that we
have reviewed the letters, we will begin word families. Our first
word family will be AT. With these two little letters, we can read
and write so many words (cat, fat, bat, attack, etc.). Look out…we
are readers/writers!
Math: During math workshop, we will reinforce the
skill of more and less. Specifically, we will use this concept to
help us solve story problems. We will also create numeral sets to
20, count aloud to 75, and back/forth to 30. We will tally and
graph!
Science: We will continue to explore Magnets!
Social

Traditions
Homework: Read 20 minutes
every night.
Optional Activities:
- Monday: Make a list of AT words.
- Tuesday: Visit www.raz-kids.com
- Wednesday: Write 3 simple sentence using any of our sight words. Do you have a capital and a period?
- Thursday: Using a deck of cards, play War with a parent. While playing, say, “I have more” or “I have less”
This is easier if you don’t play with the face cards
(Jack, Queen, etc.)
- Friday: Return your library books and practice your home reader! Send your bag on Monday.
