We learned so many things that we could not possibly put them all in our program, but we hope you enjoyed what we were able to share! We also received our own classroom awards and boogied down the runway to receive the award today too!</span></div>

In the morning, we went to the cafeteria once again for the end of the year awards program. In the afternoon, we worked on cleaning out our book boxes, writing journals, pictures and more. We have enjoyed learning together so very much and we couldn't believe it was coming to an end. We also pulled out a chart we made on the first day of school This chart, each student wrote his/her name and now we wrote them again on the back. It was SO exciting to see how much better our writing is at the end of the year!</span></div>

Sequencing refers to the identification of the components of a story — the beginning, middle, and end — and also to the ability to retell the events within a given text in the order in which they occurred. The ability to sequence events in a text is a key comprehension strategy, especially for narrative texts. Sequencing is also an important component of problem-solving across subjects. We use sequencing in everyday life and introducing this skill to students helps aid in their comprehension and analyzing of a book. </span><br />

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We talked about the different types of coins and dollars that can be used. We looked at them and discussed what was printed on them and why those things are important and we learned how much each piece was worth. We also talked about how using 2 quarters is a quicker way to get to 50 cents versus 50 pennies and other scenarios similar to that. </span><br />

Sequencing refers to the identification of the components of a story — the beginning, middle, and end — and also to the ability to retell the events within a given text in the order in which they occurred. The ability to sequence events in a text is a key comprehension strategy, especially for narrative texts. Sequencing is also an important component of problem-solving across subjects. We use sequencing in everyday life and introducing this skill to students helps aid in their comprehension and analyzing of a book. </span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We learned how sometimes you might not have paper and something to write with, but you might have a phone or a tablet. We learned how to create a list using the Notes app on the iPad. This app allows for typing, writing with a pen, adding photos and more. It was great to see the students transfer their list making from paper/pencil to digital list making!</span></div>

We focused on a specific type of contraction each day. The main three we focused on this week were “n’t, ‘s and ‘ll”. We built words and even completed a Google Slide where sometimes the words were put together as a contraction and we had to guess what two words made it up or the opposite the words were not a contraction and we had to put them together to build a contraction. </span></div>

We started off by writing a letter to another classroom and learned all of the parts of a letter. We learned who we could write letters to here at school and at home. We also learned how a letter can be turned into a card. We decorated the front of a card and wrote a letter to someone on the inside. We are all a buzz in kindergarten this week writing away with our new writing choices!</span></div>

We started off the week by discussing what things we know that grown ups do and what we are excited about doing when we become an adult. We also talked about how we have to stay in school and learn every day, follow rules and get along with others in order to be an adult who is able to do all of those things. We talked about what we can do now that adults do and we can help them. We have several jobs even as 5 and 6 year olds that grown ups do every day too! We are excited about growing up and learning more responsibilities and becoming productive citizens!</span></div>

We used this strategy during reading this week by focusing on problems and what caused them and how it effected the story. We also focused on various things characters did and how their actions (causes) affect different outcomes in a story. We discussed how if we were to change a specific cause in a book how that might change what happened next in the story. It is important as readers to pay attention to these relationships, as they can help with predicting outcomes in a story as well as comprehension of a reading. </span></div>

We learned that compound words are when you take two smaller words and put them together to make a new, larger word. We built compound words, watched videos and completed a Google Slide where we saw two pictures and had to make the compound word with a partner that when those two would be put together, what word it would make. </span></div>

Students completed their post-test on writing an opinion on Tuesday. During a post-test, they are not allowed to come have me check their writing or ask for any help. I use this time to assess if they have learned everything I have taught and worked with them on during their writing groups and are able to complete the task individually. They did a great job and I am excited to move on to our next and final writing activities for the year. </span></div>

We use the accuracy strategy ´Skip the Word, Then Come Back without even knowing what we are doing. We have enough experience and practice as a reader to know this strategy works.</span></div>

These children must learn strategies to help them move forward. This strategy teaches the reader to skip over the word until the end of the sentence or passage.

This r is very bossy because it makes those letters say something different than their normal sounds. We watched videos that helped teach us about words with these pairs in them and we used a special chart each day to focus on their sounds too!</span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We also read a story called </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Duck!

By the end you are left without an answer as to which it is. We then shared our own opinions about which animal we thought was in the book and why. It was a great way to showcase how we can have different opinions and not one person is right over the other. </span></div>

All in all, it was a great week of learning, discussing, sharing and showing what a good leader does and how he/she acts. </span></div>

When reading a book for pleasure or for information, chances are you will come to a word or two you are unsure of. You probably will use the accuracy strategy of cross checking without even thinking about it, because it is second nature to you as a reader to read accurately. Accuracy is not second nature to children learning to read. It is something that needs to be taught using a variety of strategies. Your child has been introduced to the accuracy strategy of cross checking. It is important to slow readers down when they come to a word they don’t know and teach them to apply the strategy of cross checking so they are able to fix the meaning and not just skip the word. Cross checking requires a person to constantly think and monitor meaning. It is a strategy for ensuring the words and pictures read make sense and match the letters on a page.</span></div>

We built words in both families and to review both word families we watched a Google Slide that showed the word, students had to read the word and then we checked our answer by clicking to the next slide that showed the picture. It was so much fun! We love doing this activity!</span></div>

We started the week by learning different ways to begin our opinion papers. Up until now, most students start their opinions by using the words “I like….”. We talked about how that is a good way to start but we can even challenge ourselves as writers even more to add a different beginning. We learned to use “My favorite_____. Pizza is _____. The best_____. The worst____. I think _____. I believe____.” as possible ways to begin our writing. </span></div>

We took pictures holding our books and put those photos together in a pic collage to display in the room for anyone to view if they are struggling on coming up with an idea of what to write. A few students went to the chart and chose a book someone else suggested and wrote a review on it this week! Students also helped me a couple of days by reading my own writing and finding that I forgot to add a part or two that was needed in my opinion writing. For example, in one writing I wrote my “reason” on my planning page but I didn’t add it when I wrote my final page. </span></div>

In this story a ant tries convincing a little boy to not stomp on him. At the end of the book the little boy has his show up in the air and you do not know if he chose to smash him or let him go. We completed an opinion writing piece to decide which one we think the boy should do! Check a few of them out below!</span></div>

We learned what the word meant and each day we talked about how we can best show integrity in any situation we are part of. We watched a video where the character learned how it is important to say yes or no in different situations and we talked about how that ties in with integrity. I showed the class a photo of me and told a story that had different scenarios where students were not showing integrity. As I told those parts I would crumple parts of the paper and by the end my entire paper was crumpled into a ball. We talked about how as teachers and parents we teach them to know right vs wrong but we can’t be with them all of the time and we trust them to remember what is expected and when they don’t it makes us feel sad and crumbly inside. We also read a story written by the author Laurie Keller called </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do Unto Otters</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> where it teaches about how to treat others.

Teaching this reading strategy is a very important one, not only in helping with reading comprehension but also in remembering daily events. If you have ever lost something or forgot where you put something, the first thing you usually do is retrace your steps and go back and visualize the last time you remember having it. Making a picture in our mind helps us recall events more clearly. The same is true when reading a story. When readers read or have a text read to them, they make a mental picture or movie in their mind. This helps a reader remember more of what they read or heard. Creating a mind movie uses both prior background knowledge, as well as listening skills when reading or hearing a text. </span></div>

We built words in both families and to review both word families we watched a Google Slide that showed the word, students had to read the word and then we checked our answer by clicking to the next slide that showed the picture. It was so much fun! We love doing this activity!</span></div>

We started the week off by learning about “plain vs fancy words”. We read a story called </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fancy Nancy</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. In these books, the main character Nancy loves using fancy words. She always tells the reader what the “plain” word is and what word she uses instead. All week we focused on trying to change at least one word in our writing to make it “fancier”. If we notice that we use the word “good” or “nice” all of the time, we worked on challenging ourselves to make a different word. </span></div>

We took our vocabulary book and wrote a review using our OREO format. Students wrote book reviews using books in their book boxes and changing plain words to fancy words all week!</span></div>

We learned what the word meant and each day we talked about our specific responsibilities during different parts of our school day. We shared things about those times of the day that show that we have a lot of responsibility that we, as students, are in charge of. There are things that I, as the teacher, must provide in order for those responsibilities to be met, but we learned that with as many students as there are in class it’s not feasible for the teacher to do everything for every student all day long. We learned the differences between a right and responsibility. </span></div>

The authors of most books we read have a character or characters that come across a problem and work throughout the story on ways to solve this problem. Sometimes we predict before reading the story as to what we might think could be a problem. Other times we might talk about the problem as it arises during reading and occasionally we will wait until the very end of the book to reflect back and talk about the problem and solution. We also discuss how we encounter problems in our everyday lives and we have to be problem solvers to find solutions, just like characters do in stories. </span></div>

We built words in both families and to review both word families we watched a Google Slide that showed the word, students had to read the word and then we checked our answer by clicking to the next slide that showed the picture. It was so much fun! We love doing this activity!</span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We started the week off by learning about “pronouns” and why they are helpful, useful and needed in our writing. We then worked on previous opinion writings and/or started a new one. Later in the week, we learned how we could write a specific opinion book on a movie review. We watched the movie trailer for Despicable Me 3, which comes out this summer. After watching the short clip, we discussed our different opinions about the movie. I modeled how to fill in the planning page based on my opinion of the movie and students could either finish a previous opinion writing and/or begin a new one and try a movie review! We finished the week off by taking our review from the planning page to the final opinion page and adding it to Book Creator. It was fun and exciting to see students pick and choose different movies to review, some they liked and others they didn’t!</span></div>

We took our ways to make ten and put them into number bonds. We practiced using math tools, writing and more with number bonds.

Students practiced ways to make then with ten frames and graphing and “bears in a cave” a way to make ten practice game as a new math with someone choices. </span></div>

We started off by discussing what is appropriate to laugh at during the school day and what is not appropriate. We talked about when we read a funny book or read the poem in silly voices we absolutely can laugh, but we also said that if someone trips and falls or if someone loses a point in class or scribbles their picture would not be times we should laugh. We watched a video where we learned that too much of a good thing could be bad and that is why it is important to have a balance of silly, laughing times and other times where we need to be calm and focused. If we were one way all of the time it would not be a good thing. Students also brought an item from home that makes them laugh. It was so much fun to just enjoy being silly and laughing together! We finished the week by reading a really funny book and watching two funny videos, just to laugh!</span></div>

Literary elements work together to form and enhance the story. We learn literary elements separately, and then combine them in our mind for better understanding of the story. We learned that sometimes a character or characters change in a story. After reading stories this week we discussed how the characters behavior, attitude, beliefs and more can change in a story. It was fun to discuss the actual differences from the beginning, middle to the end of the story!</span></div>

We built words in both families and to review both word families we watched a Google Slide that showed a picture that fit one of the of the word families and then wrote the word on our iPad. The next slide showed how to spell the word and we checked our answers. It was so much fun! We love doing this activity!</span></div>

They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We started off the week by giving our opinion on several different topics. We learned that an opinion is something that we believe and our opinion is not something that has to be changed. We might have different opinions than other people and that is okay! We continued through the week by learning how to set up an opinion writing using a favorite cookie, the OREO as an example. We are learning that we always start with writing our Opinion, then giving a Reason, an Example or a fact and finishing by restating our Opinion. I am excited to watch the class take off on this new writing skill!</span><br />

We completed a writing about if we were a leprechaun where would we choose to hide our pot of gold? We also, painted a leprechaun beard with a fork to make it look extra scratchy! We went on a hunt around our room to find a “pot of gold” or in our case Skittles that a sneaky leprechaun left for us! We also almost caught the leprechaun when Mrs. Brown was holding a coin that he dropped in our classroom, his hand popped up and grabbed the coin and he was gone! We never saw where he went, but we sure were close to catching him! We finished the day by enjoying a yummy ice cream treat, topped off with Lucky Charms!</span></div>

We began the week by reading the story </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mini-O-Saur</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This story was about a little dinosaur who was not the best at sharing and started to lose friends because of it. He watched as the other kids played with one another and he felt sad he wasn’t part of the group. He learned that using teamwork and sharing made him happier and part of the group again! We continued on the week by learning that sometimes when you are working with others, you might not all agree. We talked and practiced ways to disagree nicely. We finished the week up by learning ways to be a good sport whenever we lose. We know that we can’t always win at every single thing we do and it is important to be a good sport when we don’t win. </span></div>

We built words in both families and to review both word families we watched a Google Slide that showed a picture that fit one of the of the word families and then wrote the word on our iPad. The next slide showed how to spell the word and we checked our answers. It was so much fun! We love doing this activity!</span></div>

It is very similar in format to one of our favorite apps, Draw and Tell. However, in the photo gallery there were options to choose from that looked like scenes from real fairy tales! The options ranged from castles, to ballrooms and even a pirate ship. We used stickers to add characters and the pen tool for any extra illustrations we wanted in our story. We recorded our very own fairy tale, moving the stickers around and making up our own story!</span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We took our post-test and did such a great job writing our topic, three facts and a feeling ending. We then went on with the week by creating our very own class fairy tale story. We started with a planning page called “Fairy Tale Formula”. We put all of our ideas out on the paper and then the next day we chose certain ideas from each topic. We finished the week by putting those ideas together in a story and illustrated the story together!</span></div>

We continued the week by learning about the different types of graphs and the parts of a graph. We created a class bar graph using the app Pic Collage and shared our favorite fruit. We also completed a class pictograph together deciding our favorite fairy tale book between four choices. We finished the week off by completing a graph on our own by going around the room, gathering data and creating a graph! We had the best discussions after each graph lesson. We practiced reading and comparing and contrasting the data of each graph. </span></div>

We started off our discussions on this topic by watching a video from wedolisten.org and one of our favorite characters Howard B. Wigglebottom. In this video Howard thinks he is the best on his team and does not want to share and gets frustrated if they lose or when the coach takes him out of the game for his poor sportsmanship. Howard learns that being part of a team means he you have to work together and you might not always win, but it is important to be a good sport. We practiced teamwork later in the week by trying to keep a seat cushion between one person and their partner, while walking from one area of the room to the other. We learned that we needed to use teamwork and work together in order for the cushion to not fall. We also read the story </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Three Hens and a Peacock</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> this week. We were able to relate to how the animals on the farm have different jobs, but all work as a team to make the farm run smoothly. If one or more of the animals do not do their job, the farm suffers. We realized it was just like our classroom! We might not all be doing the exact same thing all of the time, but we know that everyone has to do what is expected of them and complete their jobs in order for our classroom to run smoothly just like the farm. If someone is not following their job, the class might suffer. We will continue learning about teamwork next week!</span></div>

We are honored and excited that so many people love checking in with us each week to see all of the hard work, learning and most importantly the FUN we have every single day in room 26. Thank you to everyone who has a part in our weekly activities and lessons. We would not be able to do this without you. Check out the list of all the top 100 blogs <a href="http://blog.feedspot.com/kindergarten_blogs/" target="_blank">here</a>!</span></div>

Readers summarize the most important aspects of the text by determining the details that are significant and discarding those that are not, and state the main idea in their own words, thus improving comprehension.</span></div>

We built words in both families and to review both word families we watched a Google Slide that showed a picture that fit one of the of the word families and then wrote the word on our iPad. The next slide showed how to spell the word and we checked our answers. It was so much fun! We can't wait to do it again!</span></div>

It was SO much fun! The app has students create their own “TV” show in a sense. This week, we chose to create a news broadcast being a critic of a Dr. Seuss book. We shared whether we liked or disliked the book, if we think others should or should not read it and why not.</span></div>

After creating the card and saving it, students opened up the app Popplet. They added the photo to the middle of the Popplet and then wrote or typed rhyming words around the card. We loved doing this because we know how much Dr. Seuss loved to rhyme!</span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We reviewed why author’s decide to write a book or anything. Do they want to make us laugh and ENTERTAIN us? Do they want to teach and INFORM us of something? Or do they want to try and get us to do something and PERSUADE us with their writing? Every book we read this week we decided what the author’s purpose was for writing the book and a few times the book fit into more than one category! What fun!</span></div>

We built words in both families and to review both word families we watched a Google Slide that showed a picture that fit one of the of the word families and then wrote the word on our iPad. The next slide showed how to spell the word and we checked our answers. It was so much fun! We can't wait to do it again!</span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We practiced drawing shapes this week and students in iPad math time continued to practice those skills using this app. They took a picture of the shape and then used the pen tool to draw the shape. We also used the Number Pieces app to show tens/ones!</span></div>

We are becoming quite the experts on writing information pieces. We learned about plurals at the beginning of the week and how important it is to add “s” to words when it is needed. We also worked with our iPad partner to complete a research project using our iPads. Each iPad pair was able to choose their own topic (mostly animals or dinosaurs were chosen) and complete the planning page, book and publishing using Book Creator. Most of the groups are currently working on their books and will publish in Book Creator next week!</span></div>

We started the week off by reading the story “I Like Me”. It is about a pig who describes throughout the entire book reasons why she likes herself, things she is good at and what she likes to do by herself. It was a great opening to our SEL topic because the class was able to relate to the main character throughout most of the story. We continued on with the week by watching a video about Howard Wigglebottom and how he learned to listen to his heart and be proud of who he is,even if others make fun of him. At the end of the week we shared something we like about ourselves and displayed it proudly on a label that stuck to our shirts all day long. We were so excited that by the end of the day, we all still had our stickers on and showed our self-pride and confidence all day long! We will continue learning about “confidence” next week!</span></div>

When learning about this strategy we practiced reading in a boring voice and in an exciting voice. A few tips when practicing and learning this strategy are good readers who read with expression do the following things:</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.9058823529411764; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 8pt; margin-right: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(1) They change pitch.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Expressive readers make their voices go up and down. They go up at the beginning of a sentence and down at the end (up slightly if it ends with a question mark). They also go up and down to differentiate the words of a speaker (often high in pitch) from those of the narrator (usually lower). Changes in pitch often help readers understand where different ideas begin and end.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.9058823529411764; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 8pt; margin-right: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(2) They change rhythm. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Expressive readers speed up and slow down when they read. They also take appropriate pauses—big ones at the end of a sentence, smaller ones in between, after commas, and also at logical points like phrase and clause boundaries. Changes in rhythm often help readers understand how small parts of sentences combine to create a complete thought.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.9058823529411764; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 8pt; margin-right: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

In general, little words are said softer than more important words. Changes in volume are often used to create emphasis.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.9058823529411764; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 8pt; margin-right: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

They do this to communicate different feelings—soft and warm usually means nice, calm, or even sad; hard and cold can mean scary, angry, or excited.</span></div>

We built words in both families, we went on a word hunt where we chopped the sounds up in the word and found it in a pile of other -unk or -ump words and we practiced rhyming with all of the words in each family.</span></div>

We are full swing into our planning pages, books and publishing them into Book Creator and Google Classroom. We also learned that if we are ever stuck and having trouble coming up with a topic to write about, one place we can look is in a basket with our science books. We practiced using a science book this week to read and learn about a topic and then in our own words write a planning page, book and publish our writing!</span></div>

We completed several activities practicing drawing shapes. We started off by drawing all of the shapes and then one day focusing on just the shape hexagon. We learned a couple of new strategies on how to draw that shape successfully. It is a tricky one! we also added new options to math by myself and number work where students are practicing drawing shapes. One of the options they put shapes together to form a picture and illustrate that picture a second option they roll a dice and whatever number they get they draw the shade that goes with that number.</span></div>

We started the week off by reading the story Rude Cakes. This story told us about a group of cakes who never used their manners, never share and always think about themselves. They came up against the cyclops friends who are the opposite of them and there was a great lesson learned! We continued the week by watching a video where the character always wants to try and fix his friends problems, until one day his friend had a problem he couldn't help and fix. It was a great learning moment for all of us to discuss how he handled it. The next day we discussed a series of pictures with a partner and told our own version of a story and shared with the class. It was neat to hear all of the different interpretations of the pictures. We finished the week off by hearing a scenario that went along with a pair of shoes and put ourselves in that person’s shoes and sharing how we could help them feel better. It was a great week and we are looking forward to learning all about confidence next week!</span></div>

Many times when reading a story, adults get to a point where they realize they do not understand what they are reading. Somewhere in their reading they lost concentration and therefore the meaning of the story. When this happens, as adults we realize we have lost comprehension and we stop and back-up, and reread. Children are no different than we are. They need to be taught the strategies good readers use to be successful. We have already practiced the comprehension strategy “Check for Understanding”. In learning this strategy, children are taught to stop throughout the story and ask “who” and “what”. Now your child is working on what to do when he/she is not able to answer the questions “who/what’. Using the strategy back up and re-read helps your child with their comprehension. </span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We specifically focused on one or two more or less, but did venture out to a few larger numbers as well. We learned a new Math with Someone game where we practiced this concept as well. The game is called BUMP, one player rolls a die and gets a number. They do not put their marker piece on that number though, they either put it on the spot that is one more or one less than that number. If their opponent already has a marker on that spot, they can “bump” them off! The first to have all of their pieces on the board wins!</span></div>

We learned that self-control means we are in charge of our own actions and how we respond and handle ourselves in different situations. We started the week off by reading a story called My Mouth is a Volcano. In this story a little boy has a hard time holding thoughts and stories in his head and he ends up shouting them out and interrupting anyone and everyone who he is around. His mom teaches him a strategy to help him to keep from blurting out and holding his thoughts until the appropriate time. We focused on the character in that story the rest of the week. We learned 5 other strategies we could use if we are struggling to keep our self-control in check. We finished the week off challenging yourself-control. I offered to the class to eat one Oreo cookie right then in the morning OR if they practiced their self-control they could have the cookie at the end of the day with a special surprise. There were a lot of students who just couldn’t wait and wanted to eat the cookie right in the morning, which was perfectly fine! But the students who were able to wait until the end of the day received TWO cookies instead of just one for practicing the sometimes difficult skill of self-control. It was a great week practicing our self-control!</span></div>

When parents ask their child what happened in school that day, the response is usually one of two things. Either they are given a play by play synopsis or they are given the single word “nothing”. The strategy of retelling is similar. Retelling a story helps the reader recall what is happening in the story they are reading. It allows the reader to stop and monitor their comprehension and understanding of the story. A retelling usually includes the characters, setting, problem/solution and the main idea of the text. It involves telling what is important without telling too much. Many times children struggle with the concept of weeding out what is important. Often they give every single detail or they give a vague description that is hard to follow. We stop during our reading to think out loud what we have learned, what has happened. This often helps with retelling and comprehension of the story as well. </span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We learned that self-control means we are in charge of our own actions and how we respond and handle ourselves in different situations. We started the week off by reading a story called What If Everybody Did That. This book was absolutely wonderful because it talked about what if everyone threw trash out of their car window, or what if everyone shouted out to the teacher during story time and other examples along those lines. We discussed how sometimes we really want to get up and do something we want to do, or say something during a time we are supposed to be listening or even sometimes we get into someone else’s bubble because we don’t mind being too close to someone but they might not want us that close. We have to be respectful and control ourselves to behave in different situations and everyone is in charge of their own actions. We continued the week by discussing good vs poor choices and watched a video story about a student named Clark the Shark who had a hard time controlling himself. He learned ways to help himself stay calm and in control. We had such a great week learning about self-control and we are excited to continue the learning next week!</span></div>

If a reader is unable to identify the main idea of a selection, they will most likely be lost sorting through the details and trying to makes sense of it all. The strategy of Using the Main Idea and Supporting Details to Determine Importance requires a ot of modeling and practice. Providing parents with a resource to help support their child is just one more way to increase a reader's understanding of the strategy. It gives parents an opportunity to reinforce skills taught in school and provides more practice for the child, which we all know is essential in reading instruction</span></div>

We built words in both families, we went on a word hunt where we chopped the sounds up in the word and found it in a pile of other -un and -ub words and we practiced rhyming with all of the words in each family.</span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We started the week off by reading the story It’s Not Fair and discussing what it means to be fair with our fairness poster. The next day, we watched a video story about an elephant, giraffe and hare in a zoo and how they thought their food portions weren’t fair but at the end of the book they realized that fair is not equal. Elephant needs a lot more food than the other two and they ended up keeping their own amount. We finished the week by sorting scenarios into something that is fair or something that is equal. We learned that there are sometimes where things might be equal with one another and other times that might be fair which means someone might be getting something or is able to do something we aren’t and that is okay because it is most likely something that will help them be successful. </span></div>

As adult readers we make predictions often without even realizing it. We do it when we watch movies, read a book, or hear someone tell us a story. It is a way of focusing our attention and motivating us to want to hear or read more. Children benefit from predicting in the same way. Therefore, it is important that we guide them to not only predict what will happen, but to also confirm their predictions. To predict, readers tell what they think will happen in the story. To confirm, readers find out if their predictions were true, partially true, or way off. Using this strategy gives readers the chance to make connections to the text, think ahead, and become more engaged. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**Due to the NWEA middle of the year benchmark testing, we did not have iPad choice this week. Our iPads were bundled up with the other kindergarten classes so all students could have an iPad to take the test at the same time in each class. We will pick back up with our iPad choices next week! We also are getting 5 new iPads to add to our classroom and that will put us at a half a class set! We are so excited!</span><br />

We completed one page together as a class to make that three total that we did together and then on Tuesday, students were off on their own writing their own pages about a topic they are experts in! They have to know at least three different facts about the topic in order to be considered an expert. We continued the rest of the week perfecting filling out the planning page. We will work next week on transferring the planning page to a book!</span></div>

We learned that he likes to take things away from math problems. Whenever we see or hear his symbol/name we know that we are taking away! We continued through the rest of the week practicing subtraction. We learned a new game for Math by Myself called “Smash It”. The idea of this game has students create Play-doh balls according to the subtraction problem and smash the correct number of balls down that the problem says to take away. Students write the answer on the answer page when finished and move on to the next problem. For the rest of the week practicing subtraction we used our iPads and learned how to subtract using the app Doodle Buddy and used our ten frame paddles too!</span></div>

Our task was to create a snow den for a polar animal using toothpicks and various sizes of marshmallows. We also tested out whether having "blubber" on our body keeps us warmer than having nothing. We put our hand in a bag of blubber and put it in a bowl of ice water and our hand that wasn't in the blubber and we compared which one felt warmer. We decided we would much rather have the blubber if we were a polar animal!</span></div>

We also read a story written by Mo Willems, one of our favorite authors that was about sharing with our friends. We finished the week by discussing how our words affect our friends. We felt sand paper and cotton balls and learned that we want our words to feel more like cotton balls towards others and not sand paper. At the end of the week we worked on showing our friendship skills towards others. Every time a skill was caught or recognized that student(s) received a piece of paper chain to add to our Friendship Chain. Our goal was to have so many students showing friendship that our chain would go from the top of the door and touch the ground by the end of the week. And we did it!</span></div>

We learned that when an author writes it’s for a specific reason. We put these options into three categories with the word “PIE”. Author’s write to “persuade”, “inform” and to “entertain”. We read several books and other various writing this week and discussed the purpose for that writing. We explained why an author would choose to write that particular pieces and if their purpose worked. </span></div>

This unit focuses on writing an informational writing. We learned how we, even at five years old, are already experts at a lot of things. We can use our knowledge from those things to teach others about a topic we know a lot about. We will continue to learn and write in this unit for the next several weeks. This week we created a “Class Experts” chart where we wrote down ideas of what we are experts in. We have to know at least three facts about a topic in order to be an expert and write about the topic. We used that chart to start our first planning page as well this week. We wrote all three things we know about fish as a class and will continue to practice the planning page before writing in books. </span></div>

Our week was a little different than most weeks because we started off with a two hour delay due to freezing temperatures! When we got to school we enjoyed some extra exploring time while Mrs. Brown called groups of students over to finish our parent gift. After lunch we had so much fun turning ourselves into elves! We entered our name into an elf name generator directly from the North Pole and it told us what our name would be if we were an elf living and working for Santa. It also told us what we would make as an elf in the workshops and even other special facts! We then finished up the day by adding our faces to an elf video where we laughed and laughed watching ourselves sing and dance as elves! </span></div>

We started off the day comparing and contrasting two of our Christmas books that have the same title and words but different illustrations. The books were The Night Before Christmas. It was exciting to see how two different illustrators drew the pictures to the same words! We then continued on with our day by making reindeer food, reviewing how to write CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words on a large ornament and finished our afternoon by making several ornaments with wonderful volunteers! Thank you to all of the volunteers for coming to school and creating an ornament with us!</span><br />

We celebrated good behavior today as an entire school by going to the Purdue women’s basketball game. We took buses over to campus, ate lunch in Lambert Field house, had several athletes speak to us about the importance of school and then we got to go to the game! The atmosphere was so much fun, the lights, music and the game were exciting to watch! What a great ending to our first semester in kindergarten!</span><br />

We focused on retelling familiar stories with the beginning-middle-end, comparing and contrasting two stories and respond to questions about a story. It was a great week of learning and revisiting strategies we have learned and practiced before. </span></div>

To kick off our learning of this word family, we watched a video that had us reading and learning new words that end with the -ot sound. We built words in the -ot family, we went on a word hunt where we chopped the sounds up in the word and found it in a pile of other -ot words and we practiced rhyming with all of the words in the -ot family. </span></div>

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We took our post-test on this writing topic I cannot wait to grade them and see each student’s improvement from the pre-test to the post-test! We continued the week by working on our letters to Santa. We first illustrated four different gifts we would like to receive for Christmas and then we chose one of them to write about. We made a copy of the letters and are sending one directly to the North Pole by dropping them off at a mailbox in the mall at Macy’s and the other are on display in the hallway. We will get to take those home next week!</span></div>

We started off by “riding” the Polar Express train right into our classroom and watched the first part of the movie with hot chocolate and donuts, we then took a break and had our classroom book exchange, after that we finished the movie with juice and popcorn! In the afternoon we completed a craft called “the first gift of Christmas” just like in the movie! We had an exciting day and it was spent in our pajamas, which made it quite the cozy day!</span></div>

Honesty can be demonstrated through what we say, such as through telling the truth, including only facts, and admitting when we are wrong. Honesty can be demonstrated through what we do (our actions), such as through working hard and using our own abilities to complete a task, returning things that belong to others, and following through with our promises.</span></div>

Readers who are actively involved reading ask themselves questions before, during and after reading a selection. This not only increases their comprehension of what is being read, but fully engages them in the reading process. As readers, if we are fully engaged in the reading process, we are more likely to remember important details and information. Asking questions is a great way for readers to monitor their comprehension of a text. In class, your child has learned that as readers we generate questions during reading but all questions might not be answered. </span></div>

To kick off our learning of this word family, we watched a video that had us reading and learning new words that end with the -op sound. We built words in the -op family, we went on a word hunt where we chopped the sounds up in the word and found it in a pile of other -op words and we practiced rhyming with all of the words in the -op family. </span></div>

We were able to choose the background we wanted for our story, add stickers and illustrations. After our picture was finished, we recorded a story and moved the stickers around in the story! When playing our recording back, it becomes an animated story. What fun!</span></div>

We used white boards and practiced saying various words slowly like a turtle, stretching them like a snake and writing down the sounds we hear. Later on in the week we discussed how we can write more than one sentence on a page if we have a lot to say in our stories. We looked at books we have read in class and saw how the author sometimes writes a lot on the pages and other times not as much. It was a great lesson to compare our writing to that of real published authors. We are continuing to write fantasy and true stories and publishing any of our finished books into Book Creator!</span></div>

We learned when you compare objects standing up you use the words taller and shorter and if they are laying down then you would use the words longer and shorter. Shorter is used in both scenarios! We also focused on weight this week and used the words heavier and lighter. We watched two videos this week that showed us all about length and weight. We then completed an activity where we measured different objects and predicted which would be heavier or lighter. We also figured out ways to make both sides of the scale weigh the same! </span></div>

Teaching computer science skills is becoming more and more important in schools today. The skills learned when practicing coding help students with problem solving, innovate with technology and critical thinking. We completed and learned how to practice coding with two different apps on our iPads. We used the apps Kodable and The Foos. Both apps have students programming characters on the screen to get from point A to point B in various ways. Sometimes they might need to make the character turn, jump or stop. These are just a few examples of what the students had to do in order to code the character. We built excitement up for our Hour of Code by practicing as a class both apps and having students show off and work together to solve the problems. Then on Wednesday, we set off on our own! This special Hour of Code is always one of my most favorite days of the year. The students have so much fun learning and they do not even realize how much they are actually gaining that will help them in any future career!</span></div>

I did not give them a model to go off of, I only told them the reindeer had to have a body, four legs, antlers, eyes and a nose. How they put all of the materials together was up to them. The object after making the reindeer was to see how fast the reindeer could fly from one point to the other and we discussed and learned what factors made each reindeer fly at a different pace than other ones. It was such a fun activity and we are excited for our next STEM challenge!</span></div>

Honesty can be demonstrated through what we say, such as through telling the truth, including only facts, and admitting when we are wrong. Honesty can be demonstrated through what we do (our actions), such as through working hard and using our own abilities to complete a task, returning things that belong to others, and following through with our promises.</span></div>

We learned that when you summarize you tell someone about a book or any story but do not need to give several key details. When you summarize you say 2-3 sentences to give the basic meaning of what the story was about. This concept was a little hard for most of the class to understand because we are used to telling the main idea, supporting details and retelling the beginning, middle and end of a story. We like to give lots of detail! Having to switch things up and leave out a lot of detail but still get the point across of what the story was about is more difficult than one might think!</span></div>

To kick off our learning of this word family, we watched a video that had us reading and learning new words that end with the -og sound. We built words in the -og family, we went on a word hunt where we chopped the sounds up in the word and found it in a pile of other -og words and we practiced rhyming with all of the words in the -og family. </span></div>

They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We learned why we have to have punctuation at the end of a sentence and the three most common types of punctuation...the period, exclamation mark and the question mark. We learned what type of sentences each of these symbols would be found at the end and we are working on remembering to add them into our own writing.</span></div>

We have worked so hard learning how to write a true story, that learning how to write a fantasy story was an easy transition. The class was excited to be able to add in silly characters and things the characters do that really could not happen in real life but make for a funny story! We also learned how to add a speech bubble to our illustrations to show the characters talking to one another. </span></div>

We read the story Don’t Squeal Unless It’s a Big Deal and learned the difference between kid sized problems and adult problems. The kid sized problems are ones that can be handled by kids and if there is something or someone being hurt or injured that would be a problem that an adult needs to handle. We sorted out different scenarios where we had to decide as a class if they were a squeal or considered a big deal and why. It was a great discussion and we are all well on our way to becoming our own problem solvers!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have a classroom elf arrive from the North Pole this week. We started off right away giving him a name and continuing to be on our best behavior at school. One day he didn't move from his spot and we realized he had a cold just like several of us in class! When we went to music and came back he was holding a tissue! What a silly elf. We named him "Bun Bun". We are having so much fun with him and are excited he will be with us for the next couple of weeks!</span><br />

To kick off our learning of this word family, we watched a video that had us reading and learning new words that end with the -it sound.

We have been doing number of the day as a whole class since the first week of school and they are now experts and are able to do this on their own! They rolled a dice to find their number, wrote the number, the number word, drew the dice, tally marks, number of shapes and number line! They finished the activity by recording their voice explaining their thinking and what they did with the number of the day.</span></div>

We also learned about speech bubbles and wrote what we are thankful for in the speech bubble to go with our turkeys!</span></div>

For that last choice, students are using number bracelets or math tools to help determine different ways to make a number. The students then write the addition sentence on a recording page. </span></div>

We learned that “gratitude” is a fancy word for thankful and this week the entire country focuses on being thankful for their life. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In reading this week, we learned the reading strategy “Analyze Characters”. With each book we read we discussed the characters in detail. We talked about how characters can change throughout a story. We also discussed if any characters had a conflict they had to deal with and learned how they dealt with the conflict. There were even a few characters that we read about that did not change at all throughout the story!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We also learned all about the -ig family. To kick off our learning of this word family, we watched a video that had us reading and learning new words that end with the -ig sound. We built words in the -ig family, we went on a word hunt where we chopped the sounds up in the word and found it in a pile of other -ig words and we practiced rhyming with all of the words in the -ig family. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Writer’s Workshop this week we continued to learn how to write a True Story. We learned the difference between writing that is easy to read and writing that is hard to read. We created a list for each option. Later in the week students helped me correct my own writing that was hard to read. My examples varied from each day. My writings were hard to read because they were too squished together and needed meatball spaces, they were too spread apart and needed to be closer, the sight words were misspelled, my picture didn’t match my words and I didn’t write down all of the sounds I heard. Sometimes I even wrote letters down that I didn’t hear in a word. All of those things are ways that make our writing hard to read. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This week’s SEL focus was continuing to learn about PERSEVERANCE. We watched the third and final video on Class Dojo where Katie does not give up and gets herself out of the dip! We practiced several ideas this week where we worked on perseverance. We tried carrying an object using a fly swatter and if the object fell we learned from our mistake and persevered to keep going and complete the task. Another day we played catch with a ball and learned that if we couldn’t catch it very well, we can keep trying and get out of the dip. On Friday, we each set a goal of something we would like to accomplish. These goals could be at school or home or anywhere! I am excited to watch these students keep trying and not giving up to achieve these goals. Ask your child what he/she chose as their goal and please let me know if they do in fact reach that goal. We plan to celebrate any students who meet their goal that they set. See the picture below to see all of our goals!</span></div>
