21 –Literacy: Outdoor Explorers
Unit theme “What can I learn when I explore the outdoors?” This week we focused on the question, “What
can I observe as the seasons change?”
Math: This week the children learned about the passage of
time and order of events. Each child made a sequencing time line of daily
events. They drew pictures of what they did in the
morning, afternoon, and at night. The children also played Bingo to practice
reading 2-digit numbers (1-20).
Science: Our focus this week was on the story The Mitten
by Jan Brett. The children made mittens,
which they decorated and display in our room.
We used the mittens to count by two’s during math class. Check out our mitten snow people also
displayed, they look great.
FAST
Assessments: This week the students were
very focused and worked hard on FAST (Formative Assessment System for Teachers)
assessments. The Universal Screening
materials included: Onset Sounds, Word Segmenting, Nonsense Words, and Letter
Sounds. Next week aReading will be
administered on Tuesday, Jan. 20th. This will be the final component
of the Winter FAST for Kindergarten students. It would be beneficial for the
students to be well rested and have a nutritious breakfast Tuesday. The aReading assessment will be given at 8:40
am. The computer lab has been reserved
for our class at this time. It is very
important that all the students arrive on time for school and be ready to go by
8:40 am Tuesday. The FAST results will
be shared during conferences Feb. 17th and 19th with
parents.
Jolly
Phonics: Please continue to review letter
sounds at home. Thank you for working with your child on word lists that are
sent home in the Jolly Phonics Envelopes.
