Kindergarten

Recap of January 10th - January 14th

Bible Study - We read the story of The Boy Jesus Studies Gods Word from Luke 2:41-52. During the feast of the Passover, Jesus was at the temple, talking with the teachers. God gives us teachers to help us grown in the knowledge and understanding of His word.

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. Students practiced letter j , /j/, lettter w, and /w/. 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/, z, /z/,letter u and the /u/ as in under, letter r and /r/. 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 - We began our unit on money. Students learned about the penny. How to identify the heads and tails sides, how much it is worth, how to count to find out how much you have, and the meaning on the decorations on both sides of the coin.

Social Studies - We began our unit on United States Presidents and American Symbols. We talked about the American flag, bald eagle, statue of Liberty, and George Washington.
