The highlight of our week was signing the steel beam that will be put up in the new addition of our school!
Reader's Workshop
We continued building our reading stamina this week. We read for 9 minutes!! Great job kindergarteners!
This week we also learned about our book bins. These bins will hold our "just right books" that we will read during Read to Self. We also learned how to choose a reading spot that is best for us.
This week we studied two wordless books. We realized that writers can tell stories just through their pictures!
We all have LOTS of stories to tell! We practiced oral story telling this week. We thought of a story and practiced telling it in order using lots of details.
Phonics
We continued to study names this week! We added some more names to our 'name chart'. When we learn names we are focusing on studying the letters, counting the letters, noticing tall/short letters, and counting the beats (syllables).
This week we also learned there are two kinds of letters-vowels and consonants. We worked in small groups to search for vowels around the room! We also figured out how many vowels were in our names!

Math Workshop
We continued building our understanding of 5 groups. We learned that our 5 frame can be made up of different amounts of blue and red dots. For example, 4 red dots and 1 blue dot equals 5. So does 3 red dots and 2 blue dots. We are working on subitizing...this means we are able to quickly see dots and know how many there are. This is an essential foundational skill to understanding addition and subtraction.
