Kindergarten with Mrs Munden

October 14-18

Math:

We worked on three special ways to sort things. We learned we can sort objects by shape, color and size. We started by using shape pieces and sorting them all 3 ways. Then we brainstormed ways to sort ourselves! We sorted ourselves by what eye color we had as well as our hair color. It was fun to compare ourselves. It was also a great way to talk about our differences and that each of us is special.

Language Arts:

Henry the Horse was our letter friend last week. We made a list of all the words we could think of that start with letter H. We are practicing saying the beginning sound in words to help us think about what the word could say. We also worked a lot on sounding out words that end in -ad and -an. We are starting to learn that we can put letter sounds together to make words! They are doing an excellent job.

Writer's Workshop:

This will be our last week working on our personal narrative stories. Last week we learned about speech bubbles. Speech bubbles go above our characters and have the words our character is saying in them. We are working very hard to add words to our stories by stretching out the sounds that we hear.

Discovery:

Spiders was our theme last week and it was so much fun! Spiders have two body parts, eight legs and up to eight eyes. We sang a song about the body parts to help us remember. We made our own spiders and our own webs! At the end of the week we came up with a lot of facts about spiders!
