Welcome to Miss Brose's Kindergarten Class website!

We are so excited to welcome our students back for Trinity's 70th school year! 

On this website you will be able to find a recap of what we learned the previous week, upcoming important dates and reminders, homework assignments, and resources for parents such as the school calendar and handbook.

Recap of what we learned last week:

Aug. 21st - Aug. 25th

Bible Study - We learned the story of "The Flood" from Genesis chapters 6-9.

            Central Truth - Because God is holy, He cannot tolerate sin; because He is loving and faithful, He saves His people.

            Grade Level Truth - Sin makes God angry and sad, but God loves and forgives His faithful children.

ELA - We continued practicing our positional words like left, right, above, below, on top of, underneath, in front of and behind. We also continued working on the "grown-up" names for the lines that we use when writing letters and drawing shapes. We reviewed vertical lines (going from top to bottom), horizontal lines (going from left to write), curved lines (start at the top and curve to the left) and diagonal lines (start at the top then slide to the left or start at the top and slide to the right). The new lines for this week were cup lines (start at the top, vertical line down, curve at the bottom, vertical line up) and hump lines (start at the bottom, vertical line up, curve at the top, vertical line down). We also worked on our "pinch and tuck" pencil hold. Lastly we worked on drawing squares and triangles.

Math - We continued our unit about different ways that we can sort a group of items. For example we could sort by color, size, shape, type of item. After practicing sorting collections we learned that in Kindergarten we have to be able to show our work so that meant we had to draw our sorted collections on our math pages, We talked about how math pictures do not need lots of details but we do want to make sure we use the correct colors for the things we are drawing. We also worked on comparing the groups that we created to see which group had the most or the fewest.

This week we also worked on counting and representing the amount with a number. We played a fun restaurant game where one student was the restaurant worker and the other was the customer. The customer placed an order, stating how many (pretzels, apples, or tacos) they wanted and the worker placed the amount on their plate. The customer had to use a number card to show the amount after counting to check the worker had put the right amount. 

Science - We continued our study of the five senses. We talked about our sense of taste and how the taste buds on our tongue can taste sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. We also created scented art. We used our watercolors to paint a picture of flowers and then added scents to them by painting lemon, strawberry, and maple extract on top of the dried painting.
