Hi Parents,
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! Here is what is going on in our classroom this week:
Tuesday-Wear a hat. Wednesday- Wear mixed up clothing (shirts on backwards, inside out, etc.) Encourage your kids to dress as wacky as they can! Thursday-Come dressed in your pajamas.
Height-tall and short Weight-heavy and light Capacity- holds more and holds less We will also continue to work on sorting, counting, and ordering groups. This can take the year to master. Here is a website to practice. http://www.abcya.com/counting_sorting_comparing.htm It is also important to practice with actual objects as well. Here are the standards: MGSEK.MD.1 Describe several measurable attributes of an object, such as length or weight. For example, a student may describe a shoe as, “This shoe is heavy! It is also really long!” MGSEK.MD.2 Directly compare two objects with a measureable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/”less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. MGSEK.MD.3 Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers in each category and sort the categories by count. (Limit category counts to less than or equal to 10 Please continue to review counting to 100 by 1’s and 10’s every night or skip counting. Please also have students continue to focus on writing numbers 1-20, especially teen numbers that begin with a 1. Students who have mastered this can skip count and write those numbers. You can do this with chalk outside, write it in shaving cream, etc. To practice sorting, use different items from around the house to sort like coins, utensils, art supplies, etc. To review 2d and 3d shapes, continue going on shape hunts around your house and the community. It is important to continue reviewing previously taught concepts.
a. Recognize the difference between living organisms and nonliving materials. b. Group animals according to their observable features such as appearance, size, motion, where it lives, etc. (Example: A green frog has four legs and hops. A rabbit also hops.) c. Group plants according to their observable features such as appearance, size, etc. SKL2. Students will compare the similarities and differences in groups of organisms. a. Explain the similarities and differences in animals. (color, size, appearance, etc.) b. Explain the similarities and differences in plants. (color, size, appearance, etc.) c. Recognize the similarities and differences between a parent and a baby. d. Match pictures of animal parents and their offspring explaining your reasoning. (Example: dog/puppy; cat/kitten; cow/calf; duck/ducklings, etc.) e. Recognize that you are similar and different from other students. (senses, appearance) We will begin our 5th IB unit this week: Sharing the Planet This unit is an inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and relationships within and between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution. -The learner profile we will focus on this unit is reflective and the attitudes are appreciation, respect, and commitment. Discuss with your child how they can display these learner profiles and attitudes and why it’s important to display these. -The central idea/or big idea of this unit is: People have a responsibility to share and conserve resources in order to help all living things thrive. These are the topics we will delve into:

SKP3. Students will observe and communicate effects of gravity on objects. a. Recognize that some things, such as airplanes and birds, are in the sky, but return to earth. b. Recognize that the sun, moon, and stars are in the sky, but don’t come down. c. Explain why a book does not fall down if it is placed on a table, but will fall down if it is dropped We will continue our 4th IB unit this week: How the world works The transdisciplinary theme is: An interaction between the natural world (physical and biological) and human societies. -The learner profiles we will focus on this unit are: risk-taker, inquirer, and knowledgeable. The attitudes are curiosity and cooperation. Discuss with your child how they can display these learner profiles and attitudes and why it’s important to display these. -The central idea/or big idea of this unit is: Senses help to observe and describe the world around us. These are the topics we will delve into: -The way things move and the reasons why (form/reflection) -The effects of gravity (reflection) -Patterns and how they affect construction (causation) -Using the senses to describe and group objects by observable properties (causation) -Earth’s materials and natural resources (form) Continue to check out the class Weebly, as it is updated often! www.Frankkindergarten.weebly.com As always, please let me know if you have any questions! Ms. Frank Hi Parents,
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! Here is what is going on in our classroom this week:
