Friday, March 2

This week we started our Dr. Seuss unit.  We read the books The Foot Book, 1 Fish 2 Fish, and If I Ran the Zoo.  We have spent a lot of time identifying rhyming words and coming up with our own rhymes.  We have also written story responses in our journals!  Today, we designed a new type of animal.  Some of them are very crazy!  Next week, we will be writing some details about our new animals.

In math this week, we have been practicing measurement using nonstandard units such as paperclips, feet, and cubes.  We also practiced some simple addition and subtraction and reviewed patterns and graphing. 

Our centers this week included making -at words, practicing our sight words, practicing handwriting, cooperative game activities, and reading.  We also met for our reading groups.  In every reading group, we have been reading books with the word said and talking marks ("  ").  We have been learning how to read sentences with talking marks and have been practicing the word said, even though it is not a kindergarten sight word!

Next week we will continue reading Dr. Seuss books and doing many fun activities!
