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 March 25th - March 29th:

Bible Study - We learned the story of Jesus Rises From the Dead. It can be found in Matthew 28: 1-15

Bible Words for the week: "He has risen, as He said." Matthew 28:6

Central Truth: Jesus claimed victory over sin and death in His resurrection on Easter morning.

Grade-Level Truth: Jesus came alive again on Easter; we can be sure we will live again also.

ELA - We reviewed the tricky words a, the, and of. We also reviewed rhyming words.

We began reading our Sam reader which has more sentences per page and practices all the reading skills we have learned so far. 

 We continued working on letter teams. Two letters that work together to make a new sound. We reviewed  "ch", "th" and "sh" listening for it at the beginning and ending of words. We even watched some videos to help us practice the sounds. We also reviewed the two sounds that the letter team "th" makes. The soft (not buzzy) sound like in math and the buzzy sound like in this. We learned about the sound the letter teams "ng" and "qu" make. 

We began learning tricky words as well. These words we know we are not able to sound out because they do not follow out letter rules or patterns. We know we can spell the word but then we just need to read the word. This week's tricky words were the and of. We practiced these words with interactive notebook pages and the kids noticed them in our different activities throughout the week. 

We continued practicing how vowels sometimes say their name rather than their vowel sound. We learned that when there is a consonant (or a few consonants) after a vowel it will say its vowel sound - closed door, but if there are no consonants after the vowel, the vowel will say its name - open door.

Students continued practicing that sometimes letter s tries to trick us by borrowing letter z's sound. Students also learned that 's helps us to know ownership and we learned that sometimes an s at the end of the word makes it mean more than one. Students have been working to read words with 4 and 5 letter sounds. We also continued working on our "pinch and tuck" pencil hold.

Math -We continued working on our pre addition skills. We decomposed groups of objects and talked about the groups we made with "math sentences" For example we might say, " 2 and 3 make 5 or 5 is 2 and 3"
