This week in Readers Workshop we have been studying patterns in books. We have talked about how sometimes the pattern is at the beginning of the sentence like "I see a . . ." or at the end of the sentence like "... can run." or in the middle of a sentence like "The . . . is red." Lots of times books with patterns have a surprise ending. Finding patterns in books help us to figure out words and sound smooth when we are reading. Kindergarteners are doing a great job of finding patterns in the books in their book bins.
In Math, we started a new module that looks at measurement. We compared the lengths of rectangles and put them in order from shortest to longest to make a tree. We drew and painted trees in the snow and then measured them with linker cubes. We will also be looking at weight and temperature.
We are starting to look at holidays around the world. With this unit, we will be learning about traditions and celebrations in different parts of the world. We will learn some map skills as we find these places on the map.
Some of the books we have read this week are:
