Spelling: Our focus in spelling will be the CVC short /a/ pattern. Examples of this pattern are: man, tap, hat, sad. Scholars can practice this spelling pattern at home by clicking on the sidebar link to Spelling City. There are many fun and engaging games for the scholars to play.
Reading: Our focus will be 'I can use pictures to retell a story'. We will also discuss how to use a Flow-Map to retell. I will begin the BoY reading assessment using the DRA2. This assessment will help me learn your scholar's independent and instructional reading levels.
Writing: Our focus will be, 'I can proofread to correct a target skill'. Scholars will be proofreading their writing to ensure they are using the writing concepts taught in Kindergarten. Scholars will check for: capital letter at the beginning, correct letter size and formation, spacing between words, end punctuation, the use of I, the correct use of Kindergarten In a Snap words.
Math: Scholars will begin a 5 week study of Number Sense to 50. Scholars will show what numbers look like using objects/pictures, they will write a number to match the representation, represent a number using groups of 10's and 1's, instantly tell how many I see (quick images), use mathematical language to: compare groups of objects and to compare numbers. *This is not an all inclusive list.
Science: Our focus will be weather. Scholars will observe weather conditions using their senses, use tools such as wind socks and thermometers to gather weather data then take this data and record in charts, tables and graphs.
Design Challenge: Scholars will work in pairs to design and create a wind sock. We will also incorporate money by putting a price on each material. Scholars will be given a certain amount of money (pennies) for the purchasing of materials. Scholars will follow the engineering planning process to complete this challenge. Stay tuned for pictures!
