week of April 8, 2019

Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter (week of April 8, 2019)

Writing- We are starting to write about going different places and what we do there.  For example, we wrote about going camping.  We set up a tent, built a fire, and ate some hot dogs (or marshmallows).  We also wrote about something that we can now do that we could not do before we started Kindergarten.  We had some great responses including: reading, counting to 100, doing Math, and handwriting.  We are so proud of everyone’s progress.

Reading- We have a new story this week and it is: On The Move!  It is an informational fiction story.  Our essential question is: How do people in different parts of the world travel?  Our amazing words are: travel, kayak, llama, dogsled, submarine, double-decker bus.   We will be working on main idea and we will identify nouns in sentences.  Keep on practicing those sight words and reading together each night for your book logs!  We are so proud of the blending and reading that everyone is doing!

Math- We started Measurement and Time.  Our essential question is “How and why do we measure things?”  We have been measuring objects with cubes and comparing their lengths.  We have attached our class graph of progress from the Spring Math Benchmarks.  We are so proud of everyone’s hard work and progress!
