Good morning, Kindergarten!

Yesterday it was one of our classmate's birthdays....Felicity! Be sure to send Felicity a message by adding to our class birthday card for her! (Felicity, be sure to click back in at the end of the day!) Our Zoom class meeting today will include a directed drawing lesson to practice drawing self-portraits. Hope to see you there!

Today makes 140 days of Kindergarten!

Love,

Mrs. Bradley

Estimate: 20 minutes

Math Warm-Up: Get your brain warmed up with some clock practice!

Today's Lesson: We are going to use BOOM cards to assess your current understanding of how to tell time at the hour. Click here for the Telling Time Boom Deck. Mrs. Bradley will click in to see your progress!

Click here to see your BOOM Username if you need it.

Challenge (not required): Play around with this online clock. We will start learning how to tell time to the half-hour tomorrow. Can you create times such as 5:30, 11:30, and 6:30? What other times can you create?

You do not need to upload anything to your Digital Portfolio, Mrs. Bradley will be able to click in and see your progress on the Telling Time Boom Deck.

ABC Warm-Up: Play some alphabet hopscotch! To play outside, create a hopscotch track and write the letters out of order. Hop on each letter while making its letter sound. Add digraphs, too! To play indoors, ask an adult to give you a letter each time you jump and you can respond with the correct sound.

Phonemic Awareness: Today we're going to talk about syllables! Listen with Mrs. Bradley to practice segmenting syllables in words.

Phonics: We're learning vowel digraph /oo/. Like /oo/ in good and /oo/ in school. Listen along with Mrs. Bradley! First, you'll stretch words out, then later, you'll practice writing them down.

Estimate: 15 minutes

We are going to work on writing Bio Poems this week! A Bio Poem is a short type of writing used to tell a little about yourself. There are important sections in a Bio Poem that need to be included, such as: your name, things you love, things you dream of, and more! Check out Mrs. Bradley's draft to the left. Today you're going to work on drafting your ideas. Use this template or a blank piece of paper to draft your work. Be sure to sound out each word carefully! Keep your draft in a safe place. You're going to need it tomorrow!
