Next week will be jam packed with great literature and interesting activities. We will be learning about things that start with the letter O... octopus, opposites, and the 'op word family. During the week we will read a book called Otto Is Different and talk about the things that make us different from our friends. Each child will get to talk about something that makes them "different" as we celebrate what makes us unique. Students will also spend time learning about the habits of an octopus when we read nonfiction books about this amazing animal and write a factual report about one. The class will also continue to enjoy the entertaining author Mo Willems as we wrap up our current author study. There are always so many exciting things going on in Kindergarten.
During math we will focus on space shapes when we read the book Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes. We will look around for space shapes-cylinder, cubes, etc- in the classroom and around the school (be on the lookout for them at home as well). Students will also be introduced to different ways to measure time and learn about the dime. Hopefully you are practicing coins at home, coins are usually the hardest skill for the K students to master. Of course you should still be practicing writing large numbers and counting by 5's as well.
There are lots of exciting things coming up at May Watts, as well as around the community. Be sure to check the sides of the blog for schedules, reminders, and fun ideas.
I hope you enjoy your long weekend and it is filled with fun things to do.... as well as some time to relax.
