Eureka Math
Eureka Math
Module 1: Students will learn to order, count, write up to ten objects to answer "how many?" questions in different configurations and learn to use their understanding of relationships between numbers.
Module 2: We will also explore two - dimensional and three - dimensional shapes (flat and solid shapes) in their environment. Students will observe, analyze, and classify objects by shape into categories.
Module 3: We will compare and analyze length, weight, and volume.
Module 4: This module marks an exciting and big step in math for kindergartners, addition and subtraction! Composition and decomposition are taught almost simultaneously using a number bond model so students can begin to understand the relationship between parts of a number and a whole number before moving into equations and more abstract work with addition and subtraction.
Module 5: As we have worked within 10 using a variety of tools, we will work with numbers 10-20 in this unit. We will explore the meaning of the 10 ones and some ones within a teen number and extend that understanding as we count to 100.
Module 6: Students will further develop their reasoning skills and start to explore area through composition of shapes and geometric figures.

Science
We will engage in hands-on explorations and experiments to learn about the following topics:
Measurement of Weather
Energy from the Sun
Speed and Direction
Habitats
Animal Needs
Plant Needs
Social Studies
Social Studies
We have a new curriculum through National Geographic. Topics covered include:
*My Community
*Places Near and Far
*Needs and Wants
*Holidays and Heroes
We will also be learning about Wisconsin as well as other States. We will be participating in a post card exchange with other classrooms around the United States.

Mindfulness /Zones of Regulation
We are learning to be mindful in the classroom. Being mindful means that we are training our brains and bodies to be present in the moment as we tune into our thoughts, feelings, and body. We are working on self-regulation, focusing our attention, and creating a calm environment.
We practice breathing techniques and calming down movement strategies.
We have been learning different ways control our feelings! There are four different zones of regulation. When someone is in the green zone they may feel happy, calm, focused, and are ready to learn. When someone is in the yellow zone they may feel silly, excited, worried, frustrated, and have lost some control. The blue zone may make someone feel sad, sick, bored, tired, and they may be moving slowly. The red zone means they have lost complete control, are mad, angry, they may yell or refuse to work.
We have worked on many different strategies to help cope and get back to the green zone when we are blue, yellow, or red. Ask your child about them!
