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. 28th - Sept. 1st

Bible Study - We learned to story of "The Call of Abram" from Genesis 12:1-9

            Central Truth - God credits us with righteousness through the merit of Christ, makes us His children, and gives direction and meaning to the new life that is ours in Him.

            Grade Level Truth - God promised Abram that all people would be blessed through his family because the Savior would come from his descendants.

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), diagonal lines (start at the top then slide to the left or start at the top and slide to the right), 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). The new lines for this week were zigzag lines (diagonal lines connected, making sure where they are connected is pointy), wavy lines (cup lines and hump lines connected, making sure where they are connected is curved), and spiral lines ( start in the center and go around and around) . We also worked on our "pinch and tuck" pencil hold.

Math - 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 learned rhymes to help us remember how to write our numbers:

• number 0 "start at the top, around I go, close it up. I wrote a zero"

• number 1 "top to bottom, then I am done, I have written number 1"

• number 2 "half a moon, there's more to do. I have written number 2"

• number 3 "curve to the right, around the tree, around again. I wrote number 3"

• number 4 " a little line down, to the right I go. Now big line down. I wrote a 4"

• number 5 "down the side, around the hive, a hat on top, I wrote a 5"

Science - We continued our study of the five senses. We learned about extraordinary people who have lost one of their 5 senses. We learned about Ray Charles who lost his sense of sight from an illness when he was 6. We got to hear about how he went to a special school as a child and learned to play music. He grew up to be an amazing musician. We were able to watch a video of him at one of his performances. We also learned that he learned to read by reading braille. We saw a copy of a national geographic magazine that seeing people would enjoy then we got to see and feel a braille copy of a national geographic magazine to feel how Ray Charles would have experienced it.
