This week we have been working hard continuing our letter sound practice. Many students are beginning to tap out constant vowel constant (CVC) words. It is such a magical time in Kindergarten when many of the pieces begin to come together for students.  We are now up to 5 high-frequency words and are starting to recognize them in our morning message.  High-frequency words:  I, A, and, the, is.

In writing students are continuing to write about something that interests them and are trying to add as many details as they can along with labels. We have also begun to practice our handwriting.  We are currently practicing frog jump capitals. 

Here is an example 

In Math, we have been enjoying shape games, number, and counting practice.  We are discovering that many shapes can be connected to make new shapes!

In ECO we began to talk about snow.  We learned about the famous Snowflake Bentley and his passion for snowflakes.  Many students enjoyed drawing 6 sided snowflakes in the snow with paint.  This study of snow connects to our year-long study of weather, shapes, and since snow is part of our daily life in VT for about 5 months of the year it seems very relevant!
