Curriculum Updates
Reading: We are finishing up Kindergarten Jump Start! We have had a letter of the day everyday,
where we focus on the letter identification, letter formation, and letter sound. We are starting
Reading Workshop this month, the first unit is called “We are Readers!” The goal of this unit
is to create kids who want to learn to read and who believe that they can do it.
Writing: We think, We Draw, We Write!
We have begun the writing workshop! We are learning that writers can write a story by
1.) Thinking of something that you want to write about
2.) Make a picture in your mind
3.) Drawing the story across pages of paper.
We are also learning to stretch out our words to hear as many letter sounds as we can.
This helps us write stories just like the authors we read everyday.
Math: This month we are extending early counting experiences by counting sets of objects in
different arrangements. We have introduced a tool called a “ten frame.” Students will use ten
frames to see and show numbers in a variety of ways. We are playing math games to reinforce
skills and develop problem-solving techniques. We are working on strategies to solve number
stories by using objects and drawings. We are working to identify properties of shapes and
recognizing the same shape in different sizes and orientations.
