Kindergarten

Recap of the week of August 30th - September 3rd

Bible Study - We read Genesis 12:1-9 and learned about the story of God's Promise to Abraham. God promised Abraham that all people would be blessed through his family because the Savior would come from his descendants. God gives all His children the blessing of a Savior.

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, left, right, and behind.

Students reviewed horizontal, vertical, diagonal, cup shaped, hump shaped, curved, zig zag, and wavy lines as well as learning about spiral, loop, hook, cane, plus and x 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. Students also learned how to name a pattern by using letters and how to look at a letter named pattern and create it with colors or shapes. We have been 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, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Science - We wrapped up our 5 senses unit by reviewing each of the senses and taking assessments on what we have learned about them.

*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.
