The kids worked hard today. We spent a lot of time this morning practicing sounding out and spelling words. They are all pretty good at this when we are doing one word at a time. So I challenged them with writing sentences. They learned that a sentence must have a capital letter at the beginning, spaces between the words and a period at the end. Putting spaces between words was the biggest challenge so in the next few days we are going to work on sentence writing a lot.
In Math, we also started something new. Today's lesson was on sorting. We learned that when you sort, you are putting things together that are alike. Everyone was given a tray like the one above with a variety of objects and they were asked to find things that were alike.
The child who did this tray found some beads that were oval shaped and put those together. Then he put animals together, and finally, gold objects were put together.
We will do this again tomorrow and see what other things they can find that have similarities.
November 21 is a half day of school and it is also our last day before Thanksgiving. The Kindergarten will be having a Thanksgiving Feast on that day and all parents are invited to attend. You will receive more information soon about what our class will provide for the feast. If at all possible, please plan to attend. The kids love having family members eat with them.
