September 4th - September 7th

What We're Working on This Week:

Language Arts

We will review the word wall words we have learned so far "I" "like" and "can" and we will learn one new word "see."  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 will also start writing a sentence that begins with "I like -----."  We are learning and reviewing letter names and letter sounds.
We will continue 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 will add some new stations in to our literacy rotation this week!

Social Studies

In social studies we are learning about "Me and My World."  This week we will continue our focus on Me and My Family.  We will discuss things we can already do well and things we can do YET! We are learning about setting goals and that we can do anything! 

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! This week we are excited about using our new iPads to practice our numeracy skills!



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

Science

In Science we are learning beginning to learn all about physical properties of matter. We will discuss how matter can be sorted and classified based on their properties such as the color, shape, texture, and size of an object!

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.

Welcome to Kindergarten!

Welcome TCE Tiny Texans!

We are so excited for a FABULOUS year of Kindergarten! We will use this blog as a way of sending out important dates and reminders, as well as letting you know about what we are currently learning in class. We will try our best to send it out on Friday afternoons.

Homework:

Earlier this week, we sent home a note about our first "homework" assignment in Kindergarten. We are asking that you work with your child to fill in the paper about themselves and attach a recent picture. We will be making a class book to help us to get to know all of our classmates!

iPad Distribution:

As part of a new Coppell ISD initiative, all of our learners Kindergarten - 5th grade will be getting assigned an iPad. We are so excited about all of the learning opportunities this will bring to the classroom! We will spend a lot of time in class discussing ways to be safe with the iPads and how to use technology appropriately. These iPads will stay in the classroom at the end of each day.

Important Dates:

August 20th- Begin Switching Classes

August 30th- Curriculum Night (5:30-6:30, Location TBD)
