Good Afternoon!

Our two kindergarteners kicked off their day by completing a sign in that focused on addition problems where the total was 10. They each solved five equations where they were given the first number of their equation. Student S chose to use her fingers as an aid in finding the missing number while Student A chose to use the gem manipulatives.

K.CA.4: Find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number for any number from 1 to 9 (e.g. by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or an equation.

PREK1 friends came to sign in where they worked with word families. Each child was given one word and a subsequent rhyming word that was missing the new consonant. We worked at reading their original word and then reading the new word once we added the new consonant. We talked about what word families are and essentially compared them to actual families: members share several characteristics but are different at the end of the day!

K.RF.3.5: Add, delete, or substitute sounds to change words.

Kids have been interested in making long chains with our “connecting links” puzzle this week. Today, we offered materials for kids to craft their own paper chains and see how long they could get them to be. We had a pile of paper stored from large group paintings, and recycled them into paper strips for chain making. Several kids chose to measure their chains when done. The longest chain measured was 56 inches.
