August 27th - 31st

Hello TCE Kinder Families! We've had such a fun week in Kindergarten! Thank you for taking the time to read our blog post about what to expect for next week!

What We're Working on This Week:

Language Arts

We will focus on our two new word wall words "I" and "like."  We are learning how to read and write these words!  We are working in our journals to draw a picture and label it with beginning sounds.  We are learning and reviewing letter names and letter sounds.
We will begin our Language Arts assessments to find what skills your child has mastered and what skills they are working on so we can instruct everyone on their level!  
We are having a great time in our literacy stations! There is a little peek of our stations below!

Social Studies

In social studies we are learning about "Me and My World."  This week we will focus on Me and My Family.  We will discuss who is in our family and unique characteristics about our first names (how many letters, how many syllables, etc.)
We will learn about different types of homes and how every home is different (our homes are different than homes for animals).  

Math

In math we are learning all about numeracy with the numbers 0-5. We will dive deep into understanding this numbers! We will become pros at writing, counting, composing and decomposing, comparing, and ordering our numbers! We will play math games and do some fun math stations to explore these concepts.

At home, we would love for you to practice counting and writing your numbers with your children!

Science

In Science we are learning all about our Five Senses! We are learning how scientists (just like us!) use their five senses to explore and make discoveries about the world around them.

  

Terrific Tiny Texans

Each week we will be spotlighting a special TCE Tiny Texan from each class. This is someone who we've seen going above and beyond and doing a fabulous job in class! They will get to be our line leader for the week, and they will get to fill out a STAR STUDENT poster to share during family meetings. This weeks texans are:
