Social/Emotional Learning-Growth Mindset & Goal Setting
What are we learning this month?
Reading: WE ARE READERS!
Kindergarten students are learning to be storybook readers! Students will reread favorite storybooks by looking at pictures closely and making the words and the pictures match. Students will practice how to read storybooks by themselves and with their reading partners.
Your child will come home with a book baggie in a few weeks. Please make sure to read with your child every night.
Writing: NARRATIVE
Students are learning to be storytellers! Students will continue to tell their true stories to classmates as an audience. We are also learning how to draw pictures which match with their oral stories.
Math: COUNTING QUANTITIES, COMPARING LENGTHS
Students will count and represent quantities. Students will also compare the lengths of objects and the quantities of different sets.
Ask your child, “How many?” questions to practice counting.
Social Studies:
Kindergarten students are learning to follow classroom and school routines.
We are also working on team building activities.
