Happy Summer Birthday, Isla! (July 17)

Sight Word Focus: by

KinderLiteracy: Martin Luther King
We will focus on the vocabulary words within the story (important, nervous, serious, budge, tucked) and answer these questions:
1) Where does the story take place?
2) Who are the main characters?
3) What happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
Phonemic Awareness: Manipulate Beginning Sounds
As you may have noticed, we are doing this a lot! 
Writer's Workshop: I Have a Dream...
The children are writing a simple sentence about being kind.
Literacy Jobs  

~Again, these activities include working on CVC words, sight words, letter formation, letter/sound correspondence, etc. 

Kindermath: Taking a Closer Look at Circles and Triangles

We will begin the lesson by talking about the differences between the circle and triangle and then the kids will look around the classroom for things that are shaped as circles and triangles.

We will review the attributes of a circle and triangle and illustrate several different triangles on the board. The kids 
will work to sort shape cards into a category displaying triangles and another category that are not triangles. 

 

Social Studies: Martin Luther King, Jr. 
At the conclusion of the story, Be A King, the kids will complete a dot-to-dot portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr.

 Music Today

 ~Tomorrow will be Kelli Paumen Day in our classroom. She is the mother of Wyatt and continues her battle with Brain Cancer. We will be doing some activities to show our support for her during this time. 
~If you haven't done so, please sign-up for conferences through JMC!
