Writing: We read the story titled Lunch by Denise
Fleming. The children discussed how authors write about things they like to
eat. As a class, the children generated a list of their favorite foods. Then from
the list the students created their own stories.
The
words like, of , and to were displayed on to the word wall
in our classroom. The students were able use the word wall as a reference to
write about their favorite foods.
MAP Assessments: Measures
of Academic Progress (MAP) test results. These tests determine your child’s
instructional level and measure academic growth from year to year in the areas
of mathematics, reading, and language usage. MAP tests are unique in that they
are adaptive tests your child takes on a computer. That means that the test
became more difficult the more questions your child answered correctly. When
your child incorrectly answered a question, the test became easier. Therefore,
your child will take a test specifically created for his or her learning level.
Next week all Kindergarten students will be taking MAP
assessments. It would be beneficial for the students to be well rested and have
a nutritious breakfast all next week
Science: We have been talking about hibernation for a couple of
weeks. Angela Bries Howard County Naturalist
presented a “ Winter Survival” program
Thursday. The children learned the three
ways animals survive the winter months.
The animals migrate, adapt, or hibernate in order to survive winter
weather in Iowa.
