Mrs. Guerrero & Mrs. Burns – Kindergarten
Posted on September 24, 2009, by Melissa Guerrero, under Kindergarten.
PrintKindergarten is off to a great start! Please remember to look at the weekly newsletters for more detailed information. This is what we are doing this month:
Religion
We will discuss Creation and make a book about the story of Creation. We are also learning stories from the Old Testament – Cain and Abel and how to be our brother’s keeper. The last week of September, we will learn the prayer, My Guardian Angel and learn about the three angels mentioned in the Bible: Angel Gabriel, Angel Raphael, and Angel Michael.
Language Arts
Our first unit in our Open Court program is SCHOOL. The kids will engage in a variety of listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities. The goals of this unit are to: have children see books as a valuable source for learning about school, offer children an opportunity to learn about the literary features of a narrative (audience, reader, writer), and to learn how to create literary works themselves. Each day we will work on phonemic awareness, letter and print recognition, comprehension, vocabulary, writing, listening, and speaking.
Math
This month, we are working on identifying numerals 0 – 5, rote counting, showing fingers to represent numerals 1 – 5, number line to 5, tallies numerals 1 – 5, sorting objects by color, recognizing shapes – circle, square, and triangle and identifying ten frame models to 5. Although many children already know the names of these numerals, the children will develop a deeper understanding and learn different representational models for the numerals.
Science
We will explore our 5 senses through various science experiments!
Social Studies
We will learn the Pledge of Allegiance and “God Bless America.” We will also learn about the rules of the classroom and how to treat one another.
We hope you have a great month!
