Blast Off into a New Marking Period
with Kindergarten!
Kindergarten Shoots for the Moon!
Kindergarten continues to work hard as we strive to achieve our 2nd Marking Period goals. Our goals this marking period include:
- Generates rhyming words.
- Recognizes and identifies numbers 0-30.
- Counts numbers 0-50.
- Knows phone number.
- Identifies 85% of sight words.
Soar into Reading!
This marking period, Kindergarteners are exploring sounds in order to begin blending words independently. Students will enjoy stories about Friendship, Counting, and Weather as we blast into our next three themes. During these units, kindergarteners will continue to focus on concepts of print and how to apply reading strategies such as: questioning, making predictions and inferences, noting details and summarizing.
Movin’ through Mathematics!
Kindergarten is busy counting again this marking period. Our focus will be on creating sets of larger numbers and using 5 and 10 groups. Students will begin listening to story problems in order to draw a picture and answer simple addition and/or subtraction problems. In addition, students will also be creating and continuing patterns in various forms.
Kindergarten Authors Soar to New Heights!
This marking period, students will write about themselves, their families and their family traditions by demonstrating an understanding of writing conventions such as: writing from left to right, using spaces between words, beginning each sentence with a capital letter, and ending each sentence with correct. We will continue to reinforce our handwriting skills and students will begin sounding out words independently. Please encourage your young speller to try this out at home!
Kindergarten Builds Strong Communities!
As we soar into the second marking period, Kindergarteners will identify what it means to be a good citizen. Students will discover what they can do to help in their communities. In addition, students will learn about community helpers and what their role is in our community.
Check back often for important reminders!
