What We Are Learning
Language Arts
In Language Arts this week we will continue to introduce Writing and Reading Workshops! In Writing Workshop we will continue to talk about how we are all writers and we can write using pictures and words! In Reading Workshop we will continue to talk about how we are all readers and we can "Look, Think, Read, and LEARN!" We will talk about how readers read their books from cover to cover!
In Phonics we will begin to talk about the common sounds that letters represent!
We will also read some fun books about APPLES and talk about storybooks vs. learn about the world books!
Math
In Math this week, we will be learning about 2D shapes! We will learn about shapes and their attributes - like sides and vertices. We will do some FUN math stations to practice our learning.
Science
In Science this week, we will learn about properties of objects. We will learn that objects can be sorted and classified by their properties (like size, color, shape, and texture). We will also do some FUN apple activities, too!
Social Studies
In Social Studies this week we will continue to learn about "Me and My World." We will review the importance of rules and discuss what rules we should follow at school, at home, and in our community!

Apple FUN
This week, we will be having lots of FUN with apples! We would love for each child to bring in their own apple if possible. It can be any size or type - we will not be eating them. Thank you for helping us with the fun!
iPads
We are so excited to have iPads for each of our Kindergarten learners. These come home each night so they can be charged. The charger can stay at home with you! Please do NOT add any additional apps or games to the iPad. These are for learning, and we will take care of adding any of the apps we need. Thank you!
