Kindergarten Connection ~ December 11th

We played addition bingo with our friends in Mrs. Rowntree's class.

We wrote almost all of the numerals on our December Calendars! The top of this month's calendar was inspired by the illustrations in the book Owl Moon by Jane Yolan

Math Workplace Station - Which Bug Will Win?
This station presses students to take turns, add, count on, and make predictions based on data collected.

Math Workplace Station - Beat you to Ten
This station provides students opportunities to count, add, compare, and talk about their math reasoning.

Math Workplace Station - Numbers on Number Racks
This math station encourages students to efficiently build numbers with  a set of five and some ones and take about their math thinking.

Math Workplace Station - This workplace provides students with opportunities to name shapes and compare shape attributes and construct puzzle shapes in more than one way.

We are leaning how to read word family words. We discovered that reading one word in a family can help us read other family words by changing the beginning sound. 

We continue to read and write high frequency words that pop up in our everyday reading and writing work. We know that learning to read these words quickly will help us focus on decoding tricky words and understanding text.

We can labeled a picture and built a telling sentences about winter wear.

We can build and add doubles using number racks, ten frames and our math hands.

We are learning how to form uppercase letters the kindergarten way! We are woking hard to start all of these letters at the top. Ask your child to teach you the different line names using the picture above. 

We can say words slowly to help us write. We are working hard at recording the sounds we hear in  our writing.

This was one of our December Poems.

SNOW - Our favorite word right now!

We can build and write addition sentences. We are working hard at correcting reversals to write numerals the kindergarten way.
