Mrs. Henry's Classroom: Newsletter 10/19

We are READERS! We celebrated joining the Ox Ridge reading community with our Storybook Parade this week. We picked our favorite storybook, and ALL the new kindergarten readers paraded around the school, to the applause of all the Ox Ridge citizens! It was so exciting. Then we began our new reading unit: Super Readers! We are learning to become super readers and activate our many reading powers. This week, we learned about Pointer Power and Reread Power. Ask your child to tell you about them.

In Writing Workshop, we learned how to be brave spellers while writing about our special objects. We are adding sight words to our writing, too!

In our math lessons, we counted up to eight objects and drew them. We also learned how to write a number 8. We began comparing numbers using the terms "greater than" and "less than".

We reviewed some vowel sounds this week, especially letter Oo. We made Ox Ridge Owls for our hallway bulletin board!

In social studies, we read a book called Personal Space Camp, and we learned the importance of respecting one another's personal space (or body bubble).

In science, we finished our cloud observations and learned about what meteorologists do. We are all going to get the chance to be meteorologists!

Thank you to our amazing Game Time volunteers this week! We learned new games, practiced academic and social skills, and had a fun time!
