Rosie's Walk
We read Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins last week. We discussed positional words like over, around, through, and under. The students worked together as a team to create a map that correlated with the book to show how Rosie walked home. When they were finished, the students retold the story using their own maps. Great Job Kindergarten!

I'm so glad to be back at school. Thanks for all the well wishes. There is no school on Friday. I wish everyone a safe holiday. The last Math Club meeting for this year will be on April 10.

February 29
Unit of study for the next 2 weeks:
Social Studies: Being Patriot in My Community- Students will establish the foundation for responsible citizenship by examining how holidays, historical figures, symbols and customs represent American beliefs and principles and contribute to our national identity.
Math: Patterns- Students will use patterns to identify relationships and make predictions. They will use patterns of sounds, physical movement, and concrete objects. Students begin to use what they learned in earlier units and extend learning by exploring patterns such as growing patterns, repeating patterns, and geometric patterns
Reading:
• discuss the purposes for reading and listening to various texts (e.g., to become involved in real and imagined events, settings, actions, and to enjoy language);
•ask and respond to questions about text
•monitor and adjust comprehension (e.g., using background knowledge, creating sensory images, rereading a portion aloud)
•make inferences based on the cover, title, illustrations, and plot
•retell or act out important events in stories
•make connections to own experiences, to ideas in other texts, and to the larger community and discuss textual evidence.
Writing:
•dictate or write sentences to tell a story and put the sentences in chronological sequence
•Write clearly and coherently using standard writing conventions
•descriptive words
•use complete simple sentences.
•capitalize the first letter in a sentence
• use punctuation at the end of a sentence
•use phonological knowledge to match sounds to letters
