Today we had our November 4 Winds! First the kindergartners watched a puppet show where they were told the three main types, or classes, or rock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous and the differences among them have to do with how they are formed. Then they got to check out various rocks and minerals including: granite, marble, slate, talc, sandstone, limestone, gneiss, pumice, pyrite, magnetite, hematite, quartz, amethyst, and mica.
Hopefully your kindergartner shared with you that yesterday during PE a fire truck and some firefighters visited the school. The kindergartners were very excited, I didn't get to watch the presentation but Mrs. Jarvis snapped some pictures to share! Ask your child what they learned! This week we continued our discussion of how we are alike and different (we played a game called Just Like Me) and what makes us all special. This afternoon our big third and fourth grade buddies helped the kindergartners complete a craft then did some partner reading - check it out! Every week in the newsletter you will find the new word(s) the kindergartners are learning, by clicking here you can find the complete list (in the order the words are introduced)!
This week is our first week of Unit 2: Numbers to Ten
www.mathlearningcenter.org/sites/default/files/documents/family/PAR-BR0-U2.pdf One of our new letters this week is d, and so we began the discussion about how to tell lowercase b and d apart (as well as form them correctly). Above you can see the posters and wording I use and below you can find the formation we teach. Let me know if you have questions! |
