Good morning KT!  
Happ
y Wednesday! 

We are all sad that our Kindergarten school year will soon come to an end, so I thought that it would be a nice idea to celebrate each other.  Each day, I will pick one child in KT to be in the "Spotlight" for the day.  Please have your child go to the Padlet each day to say something sweet or post a memory of a classmate.  Children will be chosen randomly every school day from today until Wed, June 17th.  

Aaron

For today's Padlet...
Write something nice about Aaron to make him happy!

Use these ideas or think of one of your own... What do you like about Aaron? What was your favorite thing to do in school with him?  What do you miss about him?

Color and count the spheres in one color.  Then color above the sphere on the graph to match your number.  Remember graphs start at the bottom. Then use a pencil to write the matching number on the right in the circle.  Repeat with different colors for each shape.  Then answer these questions to someone at home:  What shape had the most? least?  How many more cubes do you need to have the same as the cylinders?

My Reading Strategies

Literacy -   Phonics -
Our new sound is:
wh card
Wh is a digraph (two letters that make one new sound - but wh is unique in that the sound is actually /hw/ - so the h is more pronounced than the w . 
It is taught this way to help children to distinguish it from the /w/.

Practice all sounds to date -
Tap Clap Slap wh
Blending/Read with Me -
Read with Me (review)
Blending Board -wh
Lalilo - Our school code is: UAVBJV *Check in as student *Find our class *Find your name
Sight Words - 
Keep practicing the words on your word ring. If you have new word lists (in your pick up packet at school) only add one list at a time.  When you  know them all give yourself a sticker and add a new list to the ring. You should be able to read about 40-50 words by the end of K (lists A and B).  

Keep practicing the words on the slideshow.   
You can listen and follow along at your own pace.

Writing Workshop- 

Adventures with Mrs. Turci 

We have a few more days in May.  
Let's have some fun these last few days.  

Please have your child use phonetic (developmental) spelling.  He/she
is not expected to write perfectly.  Help your child sound out the words.

Remember good writers write about...
*Who the characters (people) in their story (you and me)
*Where the story takes place (Where did we go?)
*What the characters are doing (What did we do together?)
*How they are feeling? (How did we feel?)
