We will be comparing two sets of objects using appropriate
vocabulary to describe the amount of the set. Below you can see the vocabulary we
will focus on.
Vocabulary:
más- more menos- less igual- equal mayor que- greater than menos que- less than
Science
The week we are continuing to learn about the
properties of matter but this week we will focus on the texture. Below is
the vocabulary we will be using.
Thank
you for participating in the color of the day, it was very successful!
Math
This week we
will continue to focus on counting. We will start at a number and
count. For example, start from 3 and count forward and stop at 8.
You can help at home by asking your child to count from any number between 0-20
and having them stop at any number. Another way to help is having your
child help you count at home for example,counting toys, Legos, water bottles
or anything else around the house.
Science
This week we will focus on the attributes of shapes.
Through numerous experiences exploring and discussing shapes, students
begin to understand that certain attributes define what a shape is called
(number of sides, number of vertices, etc.) and that other attributes do not
(color, size, orientation).
Below you will find the vocabulary we will be
using.
This week we will learn the
colors in Spanish class. We would like for the students to wear a
particular color each day of the week to reinforce what we are learning.
For example, if the color of the day is red, then the students will wear any
clothing that is red. The colors for each day are the following:
Monday: Red/rojo
Tuesday: Blue/azul
Wednesday: Purple/morado
Thursday: Green/verde
Friday: Black/negro
This is a fun option to review the colors and
it is not mandatory.
MATH
This week we will learn to collect, sort, and
organize data into two or three categories and describe how they are sorted.
For example, "I put all the red ones here, all of the blue ones here
and the green ones here." This is a skill that we will build on
throughout the year. Below you will find an example of what this looks
like.
SCIENCE
This week we will describe the properties of matter by focusing
on their color. You can help by pointing out real life
examples by describing the color. For example, an elephant is grey.
Below you will find one of the songs we will use for
colors and vocabulary.
Every Friday each
child will be able to chose a prize from a reward menu and we will reset the
dojo points back to zero.
Math
We will continue to learn to count in Spanish
forwards and backwards from 0-10. In addition, we will be reading,
writing, and representing whole numbers from 0 to at least 10 with and without
objects or pictures. Feel free to use the song below:
Science
This upcoming week, we will begin learning about force. Students
will begin exploring the interaction between magnets and various materials. As
students observe how magnets interact with different objects, the students
should be able to distinguish between magnetic materials and non-magnetic
materials. It is important for students to know that energy, force, and motion
are related and that they are a part of every day life. This week will be the
last for this 6-week period and we saved the best for last, students love
magnets! You can support your child at home simply by allowing them to do their
own exploring at home with any type of magnet. Below you will find the
vocabulary that will be important for students to acquire throughout the week.
WARNING! Keep magnets away from computers and TVs! :)
Below
you will see what we are working on this coming week.
MATH As students begin Kindergarten it is important that they explore the math tools they will be using and the core concepts that make up the math curriculum. These include counting, geometry, and sorting and classifying. These concepts will be gradually built to mastery of grade-level expectations over the course of the year.
Currently we are using this song to help us count. Feel free to use it at home.
SCIENCE
Students
will observe and describe weather changes from day to day and over the seasons.
The students will observe and describe weather conditions. In addition,
students will record weather and compare changes from day to day and over the
seasons. A routine of weather observation and recording will be established for
the students to follow throughout the entire year. Below you will find
the vocabulary we will focus on this week.
