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.

October 16th - October 20th

Recap of what we learned last week:

Bible Study - We learned to story of "Joseph Interprets Dreams" from Genesis 40-41

            Central Truth - God works to turn evil into good for His people and His purposes. He leads us to repentance and helps us forgive those who have sinned against us.

            Grade Level Truth - Joseph went through difficult times but God used him to save many people from famine.

ELA - We have wrapped up positional words and "grown up" names for lines. We will continue to use these skills but we have shifted our focus to letter names, letter sounds, and handwriting skills. Previously we practiced m, a, t, d, o, c, g and i. This week we reviewed the letters covered before break and worked on letter n. We have listened for the letter sounds in words, talked about how our mouth looks and feels while we say the letter sounds, and have written the letters on handwriting paper to help us control the size and shape of the letters. This helps them to be more uniform. We also continued working on our "pinch and tuck" pencil hold.

Math -We learned about the stair model, how to build one and how to use one to quickly answer questions about one more and one less. 

We also continued working 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"

• number 6 "down the side, and then a curl. The 6 makes a little swirl"

• number 7 "across the sky, then drop a line. I make a 7 every time"

• number 8 "make an s and do not stop. I see an 8 when I close the top"

• number 9 " draw a loop and drop a line. that is the way I make a 9"

• number 10 (we already know how to write 1 and 0 so there is not a specific rhyme for this one)

Social Studies: We began our unit on Explorers. Students heard a story about two Italian children living 500 years ago. Their families were interested in the spice trade in the Indies but were unable to make the trip because Constantinople wouldn't let them travel through their city any more.
