March 6 – 10

Popcorn words:   could, should, would.  We found ou patterns in words and enjoyed our easy reader book, Should I, Could I, Would I?

Math: This week we continued to practice making Math mountains.  The Kindergarteners exploring 3-D shapes with our Math games on Friday.  They even loved using “magic bean” to do some fun addition and subtraction practice.

 

Reader’s Workshop: This week we continued to explore Nonfiction Reading. This week we dove into learning about Pigs and all of the Kindergarteners added a Non-fiction book to their book boxes, All About Pigs. We added the fairytale The Three Little Pigs.  We really enjoyed creating our own 3 little pig houses and character sets in our Three Little Pigs readers workshop folders.  To dig deeper on pigs we were so lucky to have a special guest speaker come and tell us all he knows about Pigs.  The guest speaker was Brycen Kuieck, a 5th grader (and son of Mrs. Kuieck-a 2nd grade teacher here at Georgetown Elementary) who is raising and training a Pig for a 4-H project.  He shared his knowledge with us and also shared some funny stories and pictures.  Thanks for visiting with us Brycen!!

Writer’s Workshop:  We have started writing our second Informational writing piece on the topic of Pigs. The Kindergarteners did a great job of gathering information from books and our guest speaker Brycen this week on Pigs.  They started their Can, Have, Are worksheets with important information. We will continuing writing on Pigs the beginning of upcoming week and then switch to Bears.

Star Student: Our next round of star student activities has started.  The activity is a Surprise Box that the students return with 3 clues that their classmates guess what is inside.  We have all loved guessing what could be inside the box!  We have seen such treasures as a ring, necklace, patch, and a gold dollar coin.  Be on the lookout for the surprise box coming home soon with your child!

Conferences: Our Spring Conferences will be held Monday, March 13 – Wednesday, March 15 from 4:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. Conference time reminders were sent home  with your child. Please let me know if you will not be able to attend conferences or if you have a conflict so that we can reschedule. I can’t wait to share your Kindergartener’s progress with you!! They are AMAZING!!!

Mystery Reader:  This week as we were singing our Mystery Reader song Ollie’s eyes grew wide and a “Dad!!” could be heard as he saw his Dad walk through the door.  Mr. Woodring joined us and read us two fabulous books, Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems and Shoo, Fly Guy! by Tedd Arnold.  We loved these stories!  Thanks for visiting with us Mr. Woodring!!
