**Thank you for the wonderful response for volunteers!

Here’s a quick overview of new things we learned this week:

New Power Word: “the” (read AND spell)

Phonics: Reviewing the letter names and sounds of the alphabet.

Phonemic Awareness: Rhyming repetition, onset fluency, blending compound words, and isolating the final sound of words.

Math: Lesson 2 “Describe and Compare Length and Height” (sorry we forgot to send the math packet home today!) We explored different ways to show a number (using objects, pictures, domino dots, 10 frames and counters, counting cubes, writing a numeral, etc.).

Science: This week we have been making observations about how sunshine heats things up. And we’ve noticed that things stay cooler if they are in the shade.

Specials: We went to the library for the first time today and loved it! Ms. Anderson always has amazing books and lessons to share! We haven’t checked out books yet. We also had our writing specials for the first time today with Mrs. Hadley.

We have a very sweet class and I’ve watched several acts of kindness between them as they start to form new friendships and enjoy being with each other and helping each other. Thanks so much for sharing them with us! Kindergarteners are the best! 🙂
