Kindergarten News May 9th- May 13th

What we’re      
Workin’ on this week..

Language Arts
In Language Arts we will be working hard to wrap up our Word Folders!!!  We have learned so many words this year, WOW!  Once we finish all 40 Words we will have a 40 Word Wall Words Celebration!  We will celebrate by doing some fun "word' rotations in Daily 5 and playing a few fun "word" games!  This week please focus on the words: "come", "it", "in", "big", and "up"!

We will also begin end of the year assessments.  I will be reading with each student as well as doing some writing samples and activities to monitor their growth and progress! Everyone is doing great!

Last but not least please enjoy your book in a bag from this Friday, May 6th and return it
Friday, May 13th.  Have a great week!


Math
We are still working hard on addition and subtraction! We have learned so many strategies and most of us have found what strategies work best for us!
We will continue to work on mixed addition and subtraction problems and knowing what to do when we see a plus sign or a minus sign.

We have been working on collecting data and turning it into a graph! As a challenge, have your child collect data and turn it into a graph of their choice! ( We have polled our classes on favorite ice cream, favorite animals, favorite vegetables. You and your child to take a walk and collect information on what animals you see on your walk, or what types/kinds of different things you see) I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Science

We will begin our unit on Rocks and Soil.  We will learn how rocks are formed, different types of soils, and how rocks and soil are used in our everyday life. Please look around your neighborhood, parks, malls, etc. to see all the different ways in which rocks and soil are being used.  The vocabulary words we will be using are:  Metamorphic, Sedimentary, Igneous, Geology, and Erosion.
