Math:

This week we will continue to work on concepts of measuring in different ways.  Kindergarten students need to explore measuring both using measurement tools and through informal exploration of measurable attributes while playing and exploring. This includes time to use different measurement tools, using balances, and having measurement tools.  It is critical for students to be able to identify and describe measurable attributes of objects. An object has different attributes that can be measured, like the height and weight of a can of food.  Below you will find vocabulary we will use again this week.

Science:

Students have been observing and describing weather changes from day to day. This week our primary focus will be on seasons.  Students will make observations and relate weather patterns to the appropriate season.   Below you will find the song and vocabulary we will use this week.

Science:

This week, we will continue to learn about force and motion.  Throughout the week, students will be observing and describing how objects can move.  This is a great opportunity for us to incorporate dance into our classroom as many of the movements we are teaching are also taught in dance class. Below is the vocabulary we will be using and we hope you can support your child at home as we complete this unit.

Week 14 Nov 12-16

Parents,

Report cards went home today.  Please remember to sign them and send them back.  Below is a link in which Mrs. Zaravar explains our report card.

Math:

Next week we are reviewing counting and writing numbers correctly.  You can help at home with the video below.

Science:

We will continue to practice using positional words.  Please refer to last week's post for vocabulary.

Week 13 Nov. 4-8

Hello third six weeks!


Math: 

This week we will review ways to count a group of objects.

Below is an example of a guiding question to help your child to analyze and understand better this skill:

 1.   How many objects are in the set(group)?

 Likewise, we will be continuing on practicing counting forwards and backwards and identifying numbers.


Science:
  
This week we will be introducing the Force, Motion, and Energy unit. Throughout the week, we will begin using positional words. Students will observe and describe the location of objects in relation to another object such as above, below, behind, in front of, etc. The vocabulary we will be using can be found below. Simon says (Simon dice) is a great game to play at home using these words!
