Here's what's happening in K this week!
Reading: This week we kick off a new reading unit called Growing Expertise in Little Books. This unit has a focus on non-fiction reading and really reading to gain understanding and learn from the books we read. This week we will sort our classroom library to get all of our informational books organized so they are easier for us to shop for. We will learn that as we read about a topic we become experts on it and learn to share that information with others by telling the main topic of a book and giving key details learned in the book. We will also work on stopping and asking questions while we read.
Writing: On Monday, we will finish up our letters, using these checklists to make sure that our letters have everything persuasive writing needs and that is easy to read:
On Tuesday, we will walk to the post office to send our letters out into the world! Don't be surprised if you receive some pretty convincing letters:)
Please return the signed permission slip by Monday!
Math: This week a major focus in math will be identifying and quickly recalling partners of a number or two numbers that combine to form a larger numbers. Students will play a game called Missing Partner where they will have a set number of tools (2-5) and a part of the group will be removed and they will need to say the quantity that remains and then figure out the quantity that is missing. Ex. I see 2, 3 are missing, 2 and 3 are partners of 5.
Researcher's Workshop: After building knowledge about different kinds of weather, students will be rotating through the following centers:
- Reading Center--Students will look through books on weather to learn even more!
- Writing Center--This center will have supplies ready for students to write about what they have learned about weather
- Photo Center--Scientists will sort, uncover, label, and title weather photos
- Technology Center--scientists will explore weather using the Pebble Go app
