In February, children will celebrate the 100th day of school by participating in various activities designed to explore the quantity of 100. Science Kindergartners will be observing and discussing the changes that winter brings to our environment. They will also begin to use the two new Science kits that were purchased for Kindergarten. Using the Pebbles, Sand and Silt kit, children will be observe properties and sort accordingly. Using the Balls and Ramps kit, children will observe different ways objects move.
Students then dictate their story to their teacher so the correct spelling is modeled.
Starting in January, kindergartners will be learning about correct letter formation. Using a multi-sensory approach, they will practice all letters in the air, in sand, on their friends' backs and ultimately with paper and pencil. We will be using the Zaner-Bloser writing program. At your child's conference you received a handout with the formation technique for each letter. Social Studies Kindergartners are concluding their unit on family traditions and celebrations.
