Academic Update

Students will be learning how to use their knowledge of letter sounds to sound-spell labels for pictures. I encourage you to give your child opportunities to do this at home as well. Remember, in kindergarten the goal is for students to gain the confidence to attempt to spell and write words. Avoid spelling words for students. Encourage them to say the word slowly and write the sounds they hear. Writing even one letter to represent a word is okay J.

In math students will be making graphs and learning to compare the weight of objects. We also are working on writing the numbers 1 – 10.

Writers will be planning writing with a writing partner and continue to find small moments from their lives to write about.

Room 9 scientists will do weaving with string this week as students examine the question: "How is fabric made?". I encourage you to point out the many ways that fabric is used in daily life.

Great Composer – Motzart

This Wednesday students will learn about the life and music of Motzart.
