Kinderliteracy: Reindeer

Reindeer by: Katie Marsico is the focus book for the week.

As always, Day 1 we read the story for enjoyment and build an interest in the topic without adding teaching points. 
The comprehension strategy the kids work on this week is Questioning.

Writer's Workshop: Making Words
Today, the kids will work on stretching simple words on their own. 

Literacy Jobs

KinderMath: Nonstandard Length (Measuring with Cubes)
~The children will be exploring length today with connecting cubes. We will look at how many cubes it would take to measure a variety of smaller objects (marker, book, crayon, etc.). Next, we will decide what to use to measure our classroom...cubes, pieces of paper, ourselves? 

Phy Ed Today

~Community members will come once a week to read a story to the children. Sometimes they dress like the theme or characters from the story. The Storybook Reader last week entertained the children with Gingerbread Baby.

~Report cards will be emailed to you today. Your child's latest assessment results will come home today as well. Please let me know if you have any questions!

~The book for our exchange is due on Friday.
~Planning ahead...We are having 'Ugly Christmas Sweater Day' on Monday, December 20!
