Happy Opening Day!  We enjoyed wearing our red for the Reds. 

This week, we will be learning many new concepts.  We will be working on many different comprehension skills this week, such as sequencing, identifying characters and setting, making text to self connections and much more. We will also be starting long vowel sounds.  This week we will devote to long A (a_e).   In Writer's Workshop we will be learning about adding exact verbs, feelings  and adjectives to our writing.  In Math, we will be classifying data and graphing.  In Religion, we will be talking more about the Stations of the Cross. We will continue our thematic unit learning more about birds and completing a bird booklet.

What's Happening This Week?

First through 7th grade is testing all week, so our schedule will be a little different as well.  But, through it all we will continue to be hard working learners(with a lot of fun too)!


This week in Language Arts, we will finish the last 2 letters of the alphabet Yy and Zz.  We will learn the popcorn words this and what.  In Writer's Workshop we will be learning how to stretch out sentences to make great sentences with a who, what, when, where and why. 

In Math, we are learning about measurement and how to compare the height, length and weight of objects. 

In Social Studies we are learning about American Symbols.

In Religion we will continue to learn about the Stations of the Cross. 

Below is a video of the student dancing and singing along to a fun song titled "Bear to the Left"  Enjoy!


  Also, I am all out of disinfecting wipes so if you could donate a bottle that would be great. 

Have a great week!

library time!

Here at GA, we are so fortunate that we are able to go to library, gym, art, music and spanish, especially as kindergarteners.  They are so important and enrich our curriculum.  Here are some great photos are some what happens when we go to library.

What's Happening This Week?

One of our favorite authors in Kindergarten is Dr Seuss.  Over the next couple of weeks we will be reading and enjoying many Dr Seuss books.   Dr Seuss books are amazing to develop and enrich reading skills with all the rhyme, repitition and rythm.  Today we read  The Cat in the Hat and made our very own cats in the hats. 


 
I also found a great website with many different games and activties that would be great for a cold or rainy day. 
 
 
 
 
I know the kids would love to go to the library and check out some books to read with you!
