Week 9: Daily 5
Reading: We will continue working on identifying print concepts and how illustrations and text work together to tell a story. This week we will be continuing to learn all about the Daily 5 model. We will incorporate Read to Self, Work on Writing, Word Work and Listening. We will add the 5th part at a later time. During this time and in the future you will see less "paperwork" coming home. We will be working hard with literacy activities, but they will not do as much on paper.
Writing: We will be working on beginning writing skills. This week we will continue writing some personal narratives. I have been so impressed with the progress everyone is making with their writing. We are in Kindergarten so we don't know how to spell everything the grown-up way. We are learning to say words we want to write and listen for the sounds. This is the "Kindergarten way".
Math: We will continue to work on learning various counting strategies.
Reminders:
*Conferences will continue this week
Some things to work on:
* rhyming words (should be able to tell if 2 words rhyme and when given a word they can tell you a word that rhymes with it)
* counting by 10s to 100
* counting by 1s to 30
* Letterland characters, the letters they hide behind and their sounds. The sheet with all this information was given out at Open House. If you were not able to attend, I sent it home in your child's Friday Folder that week.
