Kindergartners began a new unit in Math. Throughout, the focus is on describing and comparing 2D shapes. Students took a shape hunt, explored shape manipulatives, practiced writing the number 4, and made some more progress on Happy Numbers.
This week we concluded our Civics unit with a service project. Students wanted to help make recess a safer place for all UCS students. Students chose a rule they wanted to highlight with a poster and video clip. Once again students rocked at sounding out words and getting some of those sounds written down on their posters. This video was shared with our school, it is linked below.
We introduced a heart word this week. Heart words are also known as high-frequency words. Heart words remind us that we need to learn them by heart because the spelling/sounds are irregular. Our first word is The. The e has a heart over it because the e makes an /u/ sound. We also placed a heart over the /th/ as well because we haven't spent much time on the th sound. Hope this makes a little sense.
Thank you for placing your book orders! You helped our class earn two books and 2 phonic reader bundles. Thank you! I will let you know when your order arrives if you would like them saved for pick up or just given to your child to take home.
