January is a great month to make progress

I love January.  It's a great time for getting a lot of learning done in Kindergarten.  It's also the time of year when everyone is ready to move a little faster and focus longer.  It's always exciting to see how quickly we can master new things compared to the beginning of the year.

This week we will start our days with a quick devotion and then practice for our chapel play.  Students are learning their lines, understanding timing and direction and enjoying a creative process. 

In reading we are moving into a new unit and will focus first on comparing and contrasting different characters in a text.  In writing we will practice writing using a time sequence and always working toward good sentence structure.

We'll be finishing up our chapter on numbers 10-20 in math.  Our class really rocked it understanding how to decompose those numbers into a group of tens and ones yesterday.  I'm excited to move into our new chapter on measurements soon.  We'll be able to apply what we learn in science right away as we measure growth in germinating seeds.

It will be fun to learn more about living systems in science as we study plants and set up experiments in the classroom.

During our learning center practice time we are busy doing art, building, practicing vowel sounds and careful counting.

Blessings on your day,

Mrs. Luoma
