Ms. Johnston Lord Selkirk School May 2021 Page 1 Room 1 NURSERY and KINDERGARTEN Mr. Katopodis Room 1 had a great month of April, learning about how winter never really leaves! We have now finished reviewing how to write the letters of the alphabet. We are becoming experts in the alphabet and will now take our next step and use our knowledge of the alphabet to explore writing and reading! As writers we will use our knowledge of letter sounds to sound out words and inventively write the letters to the sounds that we hear. A big part of writing is to convey a message, and in Nursery/Kindergarten an important way to convey a message is to draw a picture. We will continue to develop our drawing skills by following directed drawings and then trying to add some words to our story. We will also be using our sight words to create some sentence starters such as "I like..." and "Look at the...". We will continue to focus on reading by recognizing our sight words and creating many strategies on how to figure out new words (such as using the picture). Our sight word list is expanding and in May, students will be taking books home to read together with their family. Please make sure you give lots of time for your child to read the book, and always remember to ask questions about the book before, during and after reading. In April, we had great success with our new exploration bins that are focused on mathematics. Students were able to count, compare quantities, create patterns, and sort objects during exploration time. During our question of the day, we are voting and comparing the votes together to practice the “more than”, “less than” comparisons as precursors to addition and subtraction. Room 2 FULL DAY KINDERGARTEN Ms. Romaniw This month we have continued to grow as writers and readers in so many different ways. We have been continuing to practice our sight words, which helps us read books. We are starting a “Buddy Reading” time every day after lunch. During this time, we read a sight word book to our partner all by ourselves! One of our big highlights this month was celebrating completing Rhyme Time in Room 2. After participating in a lot of fun rhyming activities we held a book celebration to share a story written and illustrated by Room 2. We all did a great job reading our funny rhyme sentences. In math we met “Mr. Number Bond”. He is a big, strong number ( whole ) that carries two parts that equal himself (i.e. 3 + 2 = 5)! Number bonds help us see that numbers can be “broken” into pieces supporting me with developing a strong number sense. You can help me practice this at home too by giving me a random number and having me count the correct objects into a big circle. Then ask me to separate the number into the two smaller circles (parts) and discuss the variations that I come up with! We have been having so much fun learning, growing and exploring together in Kindergarten! Lord Selkirk School May 2021 Page 2 Room 4 GRADE 1 Ms. Feliciano April has already come and gone, it is amazing how quickly the time is moving in Room 4! In Writer’s Workshop we have officially kicked off our opinion writing unit! Thank you to the families that sent their child with a collection to help us with our writing. Room 4 has been writing away, using some new strategies to help convince their readers about their opinions. We are continuing to work in targeted reading groups with three different teachers with the students in Room 4. These groups will focus on specific reading strategies that will help us grow independently as readers. In Math, we have been using everything we know about numbers to help us learn about subtraction. Room 4 has been practicing working with a partner to help with their problem solving skills! We continue to practice counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s and participate in daily number talks to help understand numbers. We also continue to use Dreambox in class. As always here is the link to access for some extra practice at home: https://play.dreambox.com/login/d7qd/lords In Science, we have started an investigation about what objects are made of! So far we have discovered that certain materials can be used to make many different things and that some of the same objects can be made out of different things! We are excited to keep learning about what kinds of materials work best to help when we eventually work on our own building projects. In Social Studies, we have teamed up with Take Pride Winnipeg to help us with our Roots and Shoots project! Take Pride Winnipeg has offered to send our class cleaning supplies to help us with our clean up.
