| The 19-20 kindergarten team! |
Each week I will update the blog on what we will be doing in each subject as well as share some pictures of our fun from the previous week.
Here's a look at our first week:
Spalding: This week we will explain clock letters, short lines, tall lines and diagonal strokes. We will practice making these line strokes to get us ready for proper letter formation when we start to introduce phonograms. Students will learn how to sit in "scholarly position”, (Heads high, back straight, hips back, feet flat, arms folded, eyes on your teacher) this helps to ensure their bodies are ready to listen and learn.
Math: This week we will be introducing students to the idea of Math. We will be explaining our calendar time, and exploring colors. We will start the year off slow and allow students to gain a good background on topics before moving them further. We are excited to begin the new year!
Literature: This week we will explore the story “Three Billy Goats Gruff.” We will learn the job of the author and illustrator and even practice making our own book cover. Our weekly poem will be “Rain,” by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Science: To kick off our school year in science we will be discussing what exactly science is. Students will explore the difference between living and non-living things and what it means to be alive. They will get to sort through items and decide which are living and which are non-living.
