Kindergarten is an exciting place to learn! Vessels' kindergarten students love mathematics and are excited to celebrate the 100th day of school on Wednesday, January 23rd. We will be celebrating with lots of fun hands-on projects! Our goal is for all kindergarten students to count to 100 by 1’s and 10”s by the 100th day. Please help your child practice counting if he or she has not mastered this goal yet. We will also be taking addition and subtraction fact one minute timed tests coming up in February. Students should practice addition and subtraction fact within five (ex. 3+2=5, 5-1=4).
We are very excited to have learned many sight words and word family words using all of the vowel sounds. Our students should be able to sound out three letter words with the short vowel sounds and identify our sight words in a snap. Reading many sight words quickly will help students become fluent readers with increased comprehension. We are also practicing our reading in class in many hands-on ways including clip cards, magnetic letters, emergent readers, and using technology.
Don’t forget to log onto Benchmark to practice our sight word songs, play games and read a variety of level reading books. It is like having a library at your fingertips!
