What's Happening This Week?

This will be our first full week back!  We had a very busy day and will have a very busy week ahead.  In Language Arts, we will be learning the vowel Ee,  the sounds as well as  blending words with the short sound of Ee.  We will also be learning what pronouns are.  In Writer's Workshop we are starting my favorite project of the year. We are becoming authors by writing, illustrating, and publishing Alphabet books.  This will take several weeks to complete, but the finished products are amazing!

In Math, we will continue to work on larger numbers through 19.  We learn about teen numbers as groups of a 10 and ones.  For instance, 12 is 10 and 2 ones or 16 is 10 and 6 ones.  It is fairly sophisticated work for kindergarteners, but they are up to the challenge.

For our thematic unit and Science, we will be learning all about Penguins and reading many penguin non-fiction and fiction books. 

In Religion, we will be discussing ways we can follow Jesus. We will also be going to the k-3 grade level Mass on Thursday morning.

Here are some photos of our completed shape penguins we made today.
