Fabulous in Kindergarten! : Native Americans

This week in:

Shared Reading/Concepts-We will learn about Native Americans and life long ago. We will learn about the Wampanaug Indians who met the Pilgrims. We will make Native American outfits, learn how to make Native American symbols, make a life size teepee, a teepee snack, and more! It will be a fun week!

Daily 5 Reading-We will learn the strategy flip the sound under the goal of accuracy. The boys and girls will learn to use their knowledge of letter sounds to decode words by trying out, or flipping the different sounds a letter can make until they hear a word they recognize and that makes sense.

Guided Math-We are continuing to learn addition strategies.

Writer's Workshop- We are learning to self assess by using a check list for narrative writing. Our checklist includes: I told, drew, and wrote a whole story, I had a page that showed what happened first, I put my pages in order, I had a page that showed what happened last in my story, My story had a page for the beginning, the middle, and a page for the end, My story indicated who was there, what they did, and how the characters felt, I drew and wrote some details about whta happened, I could read my writing, I wrote a letter for the sounds I heard, I used the word wall to help me spell. Whew! We have learned a lot!
