Kindergarten

Recap of the week of August 9th - August 13th

Kindergarten is cruising right along!

Bible Study - We read Genesis 2:4-24 and learned about how God made people to live in His wonderful world because God is love. God loves us and created people to know Him and worship Him. We recited and worked on the Bible Verse "I will be glad and exult in You" Psalm 9:2

ELA/Skills - Students are focusing on isolating and identifying different sounds, pencil strokes that will help with handwriting, and practicing positional words like in front of, on top of, below, and behind.

Students reviewed horizontal, vertical and curved lines as well as learning about diagonal lines. They also worked on making sure that they are gripping their pencil/crayons properly with a tripod grip. It was great to see the students really focusing on how they hold a pencil and trying their best to work as neatly as they could.

Math - Students have been working on calendar skills (month, year, days of the week, date, graphing daily weather, counting the days of school on a 100s chart and with tally marks). They have also worked with patterns. Not only identifying a pattern but also sharing what will come next in the pattern. We have begun working on our number writing skills as once these are mastered we will be able to better complete math activities through out the school year. We reviewed numbers 1 and 2 during the week as well as learning 3, 4, and 5.

Science - We are exploring our 5 senses! Students reviewed their senses of sight and hearing this week as well as learning more about their sense of smell and taste. Not only did we learn about these senses and the body parts that help us with them, we also did activities that focused on each sense.

*Students have also been working on different skills such as cutting, gluing, and the importance following directions. Students also had the opportunity to do some digital work on the iPads. If you haven't already, check out their work in their portfolio on ClassDojo.
