Kindergarten

Recap of November 15th - 19th and November 22nd - 24th

Bible Study - We read the story of The First Christmas from Luke 2:1 - 10. God sent His Son, Jesus, to be born on earth so that He could save us from our sins. God sent the angels to tell the news of Jesus' birth to the shepherds. We too can spread the Good News to others!

ELA - We have been working on our phonics skills - associating letters with their sounds and blending sounds together to hear a new word. We are also really focusing on our penmanship. We reviewed the letter a and /a/ like in cat ,m, /m/ t, /t/, d, /d/, / o, /o/ like in ox, c, /k/, i, and /i/ like in igloo, g /g/, n, /n/, h, /h/ , f, /f/, s, /s/, v, /v/, and z, /z/ and practiced e and /e/ like in ten. Students wrote the letters, listened for their sounds, stretched and blended words that contain these letter sounds and use a chaining chart to create words with the letter sounds they know.

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.

Math - Students practiced counting by 10s and identifying groups or numbers that showed one more or one less.

Social Studies - Students continued learning about colonial tradespeople like the weaver, miller, cobbler, tailor, dressmaker, baker and more.

Thematic Unit - Students practiced and learned about manners and specifically table manners. Students put these skills into practice at our Manners Meal on the last day of school before the Thanksgiving Break.
