Kindergarten Connection - December 5th

Finger Print Math
We can represent teen numbers as a group of ten and some more. 

We are beginning to recognize teen numbers with automaticity.

We can respond to writing prompts in complete sentences. We wrote about what we can do on the CCS playground with friends.

We can say words slowly (stretch/sound words out) to help us write independently.

We memorized and recorded our last fall poem. We're excited to learn snow/winter poems in the months to come.

Read and Write the Room
We went on a word hunt and wrote down all the words we can read in a snap. We surprised ourselves by how many words we could read and write!

Word Woman flew in to teach us the word look. We discovered that knowing how to read this word helps us read other words like book, cook, hook, took, shook, and nook.

Literacy in the Home Center
We like to play restaurant in the classroom. We can make menus and take orders. 

We finished learning how to form all of the lowercase letters the kindergarten way!

Mrs. Brady read The Little Engine That Could to help us understand the importance of working hard and not giving up. We call this effort and we know that it feels good to put a lot of effort into our work and play.

We made our November self portraits. We are amazed by how much more detail we're able to add to our pictures as the months go by.

New Weather Science Unit
We are learning all about weather! We observed different types of weather and made a chart of important weather vocabulary.

We have our very own Weather Science Notebooks. We recorded different types of weather on the first page. 

We worked with Ms. Rowntree's Room to investigate different weather and talk about what weather we observe out the classroom window.

We went on another word hunt around the room just for fun!

December Calendar

We wrote almost all of the numbers 1-20

We wish there was real snow in Vermont.

Hour of Code
Mr. Bianci taught us how to work a coding app. 

We collaborated to solve coding problems.

We are weather scientist! We recorded the day's weather in our Science Notebooks.

We are recording the day's weather and working hard to add weather clues to our pictures and use weather words.

We played letter/sound bingo just for fun!
