Math Rotations are going so well! We have focused on how important it is to be independent during rotations. We go through each part of the stations before we start. On Friday we focused on being independent. The boys and girls did so well! I was so proud of them! Here is a snap shot of what our rotation board looks like!

This week in Kindergarten...
Did you know that we use GoNoodle each day to get our wiggles out and give our brains a little break! GoNoodle is an amazing resource provided by Dell Children's Hospital to local Elementary schools. You can get a free account to use at home as well. Just visit the website to get started!
In Writing Workshop...
We will continue working on telling our stories through our illustrations and begin to add words to our stories. This week we will focus on making a picture in our minds then drawing it on paper, making our ideas clearer and using finger (or popsicle stick) spaces between our words. We are writing and sharing amazing stories!
In Reading Workshop...
We will continue to talk about things that Strong Readers do! We will learn that stories have parts such as characters, setting and plot. Strong readers can retell a story using characters names, talk about where the story takes place and details about the plot. For example, Goldilocks and the Three Bears has Goldilocks, Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear as characters. The setting for the story is at the Bear's House in the Forest. The plot of the story is Goldilocks goes into the bears house and uses their things, the bears come home and find her then Goldilocks runs away!
In Phonics...
We are exploring how sentences are formed with words. We notice that sentences start with a capital letter and end with a period. We will continue to look for the words we use frequently! When we discover these words will will put them on our word wall. This weeks Word Wall focus words are "am" and "like"!
In Math...
This week we will continue Math Workshop rotations each day. At the teacher table we will be working with 2 dimensional shapes! We will be sorting and discovering what makes the shapes different and the same. This will begin our unit on Geometry and Data Collecting.
In Science...
This week we will being our unit on Forms of Energy. This week we will explore Sound! We will take a discovery walk as we listen for sound energy around our school. We will take notes in our Science Notebook like real scientists!
This week's Life Skill is Perseverance! Keep trying and don't give up!
Have a great week!
