We Love Apples!

We started this week with an apple taste test!  Next week we are going to make applesauce.  If each child brings in an apple, we will have plenty to make our applesauce in a crockpot.

In Readers Workshop, we have been learning how to care for books, the routines of Readers Workshop and how to read.  Here are some anchor charts we are using:



We have been practicing recognizing, naming, producing the sound and writing the following letters:

We have also started talking about Popcorn Words.  Those are words that pop up in our reading and writing that we need to know how to read and spell quickly.  We have been practicing the and is.

In Math, we are continuing to work on numbers 0 to 5.  One area that many kindergarteners could work on is forming the numbers.  At home, you can practice in fun ways like in the tub with bubbles on the wall, using sidewalk chalk, in the dirt with a stick, using finger paint, and on the refrigerator with magnets.
