We
are Junior Engineers!
Here are some of
the pictures we have taken while working our way through the first module of
Project Lead The Way.
These kiddos continue to amaze me with all of their hard work and understanding of new topics. During this module we have learned about all different types of structures and how each structure has a function. I love hearing their conversations during Project Lead The Way. They really seem to grasp the concept of structures and figuring out the structures function. It has been fun to watch them learn through this process. :)
I apologize that I haven't had time to update the blog recently. We have just been busy playing and learning.
This month, we will be finishing up the first module of Project Lead The Way. All we have left is the final project, SO FUN! In reading, we have finished Unit 3 (all about homes & families) and we will be moving on to Unit 4 (Seasons, Weather, & taking care of nature) starting next week.
We are working on retelling stories using sequencing words. One way we do this is to color code the words. For example: FIRST I woke up. THEN I brushed my teeth. NEXT I got dressed. LAST I ate breakfast. I am hoping this will help them when we transition into writing events in the order they happen in.
Please continue to work on sight words at home. This is one skill that will boost your child's reading and writing.
Sight words to focus on this month:
what, have, that, they, down, all, said, puts, of, here, this, liked, looked
Math Update:
We have just finished Chapter 4 in math. We will be moving into addition and subtraction. These are some skills that can be tricky for kindergartners to grasp. I will be attaching some of the homework pages from GOmath to the weekly homework. This is just for extra practice at home. The directions for the practice homework sheet are located at the bottom. They can be confusing at times. Please call me, email me, stop me in the morning/afternoon if you have any questions. :)
