ROE Kindergarten - Week of Jan. 29
Where the Magic Happens!
Greetings Kindergarten Families
This month our focus is on the talon of being 1% better every day. To do that we need to make safe and healthy choices. You make choices all day long. Learning to make safe and healthy choices is an important skill you will use your whole life. THINK: "What would a HAWK do?"
REMINDER: Please keep students home if they are sick; they cannot return to school until they are fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT medication.
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
ELAR - We will identify the Author's Purpose for writing a story (persuade, inform, entertain) and write a personal narrative using complete sentences.
Math- We will compose and decompose to 10 by solving word problems.
Science - We will continue our discussion about what is in the sky (day/night) and learn about shadows.
Social Studies- We will continue our discussions on our similarities and differences and begin our celebration of Black History Month.
Suite 360 (Social Emotional curriculum): We will focus on making responsible decisions
Sight Words
Continue to practice sight words with your child at home. Make it fun by writing on post-it notes and hiding them around the house or play a memory game with them. Here is the link to the revised/updated sight word list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17miLoKGFxKZF6WSyZClm1cH7WUQ1y0Y5m2lPVVR0d08/edit?usp=sharing
Reading at home
Please read nightly with your child and complete the reading log. Focus on the who, what, when, where and why of the story. Ask questions along the way and practice retelling details. Ask your child why the author might have written the story? Was it to persuade, inform or entertain? Be sure to send your "baggie book" back to school after you've read it 10 times so you may earn a prize and a new book to read!
