Good Thursday morning kindergarten!

 

Today, continue to use the Virtual Daily schedule to help you along throughout the day. Please continue to work on your choice board that was posted on Monday.

 

Language Arts:

Listen to a story on www.storylineonline.net

Do your calendar on www.starfall.com

 

Please keep working on printing your name and learning the letters in your name.

·       Continue to work on learning the sounds the letters make:

·       Review the letter names and sounds 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsDMOJbWt_Y

·       Review our Zoo-phonics letter/sounds 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4RuBB-aFb0

 

Can you draw and label something that starts with the first letter in your name?  For example, I could draw a spider, because my name starts with the letter S.

 

Math:

Continue to work on subitizing:

·       Subitize: To subitize is to identify the number of things in a set simply by quickly looking at them—not by counting them one by one. Student should be able to look at a small set and know how many.

·       Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KJmzKhKuVo

·       Listen to these songs

o   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSlA-u_ABmU

o   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yyz_OycV4A

o   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH8rLym53sw

·       Roll a dotted dice and have your child quickly say the amount without counting. 

·       Games online

o   https://toytheater.com/five-frame/

o   https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Five-Frame/

 

Practice your cutting skills!  Have an adult draw some lines and shapes onto a piece of paper and then practice cutting them out, staying on the lines.

 

Please do not feel that you must do everything that has been suggested. These are just some ideas that may help you with home learning. Do the best you can! I really appreciate every effort! Thank you for all you are doing!

Good morning kindergarten!

Today, continue to use the Virtual Daily schedule to help you along throughout the day. Please continue to work on your choice board that was posted on Monday. A big thing to keep working on is printing your name and learning the letters in your name.  Be sure to use a capitol at the beginning and then lowercase, like in my name Sherrie. Make sure none of your letters are backwards! 

You can also listen to Jack Hartmann's Kindergarten Alphabet Song on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhX064AiyGg  This is a great song to practice your letters and sounds.

I can see online where some of you had a chance to check out Squiggle Park, Zorbit's Math, and Splash Math

Today is supposed to be a nice fall day. Be sure to try to get outside and enjoy that nice fall fresh air!

Parents/Guardians- Please keep all student work completed during Home Learning and send it to school with your child when we return to school base learning. 

I miss you all!

Love Mrs. Bell

Good morning families and of course, good morning to my sweet kindergarteners!!! 

I have attached 2 documents to help you along while we are home learning.  I tried to do a mixture of online activities and home activities. Throughout the week, I will also be posting some stories, songs, and games.  I have also attached a document from the district with some ideas on how your day could look.

These are just recommendations.

If you need anything or have any concerns or questions, please email me at any time.
