We are really starting to see some light bulbs going off in reading! It is so amazing to see the wonder and excitement in the children as they begin this process. One of the many blessings of teaching Kindergarten!

Math 

•  We are really working on not only identifying and writing numbers 0-10, but also looking at different ways to form those numbers. In class, we do this through the use of subitizing cards, ten frames, etc. Although it may seem as though we are moving slowly, please know that our goal is to really give the children a strong foundation in number sense. Numbers are beautiful! They are everywhere! Take a look around at God's wonderful creation and see where numbers can be found. 

Reading

• We are reviewing reading words and sentences with short vowels. Please review lessons 27-29 on Tuesday and lessons 30-33 on Thursday/Friday.
• Have your child read past OPG readers for practice along with the WORD FANS that you can print and cut into word strips. Our goal is for our students to be able to blend CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words accurately in order to read the word. 

Composition (see table above)

Spelling

• Go over yellow phonogram cards and blue key cards at least twice a day.
• Please continue to review AAS steps 1-4. We will resume with step 5 in a few weeks.
• Continue blending and segmenting words (ex: cat=c/a/t, c/a/t=cat)

History 

• Creation song

Geography

• Continents and Oceans  Map and song  for practice.  Students will be asked to point to each continent and ocean as they sing they song.

• Greenland and Canada songs will be assessed on Wednesday. 

Science

• Our classroom caterpillars have all formed a chrysalis! We are marveling at God's creation!

Memory Work 

• We will be working on memorizing Proverbs 3:1-23  (KJV) during this school year. We will focus on building one verse at a time. We will go over the verse in class and use that verse as copy work.  Be sure to add this to your memory work at home. It is also a great time to discuss with your child what these verses mean and tuck God's word into their little hearts.
