We just finished a short but fun week in kindergarten. We learned about the –en word family, the names of solid figures, and Martin Luther King, Jr. We did several fun things this week. We read, “Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr.” We did a sequencing activity to help us review the order in which events occurred. We also read “Young Martin Luther King Jr.” to help understand who he was and what he stood for. This week, we even made our own class book on Martin Luther King Jr. and being kind to one another.
In math, we reviewed the names of solid figures. The names of most solid figures should come easy to your child. Review the names and objects that look like each solid figure. Next week, we will classify them as to how they move. Do they roll, stack, slide, or can they do all three? We also wrote numbers to 55 this week. Next week, we will be writing to 60!
In social studies, we learned about Martin Luther King Jr. We honored him by reading books and doing different activities that reminded us of what he stood for. Children should now have a good understanding of who he was.
We continued book-in-a-bag this week. We are almost done with the primer list and will be moving on to the next set shortly! Because we are learning so many words, our books are becoming full. If you can please send a new spiral bound index card book with your child ASAP, it would be greatly appreciated. Can you believe how many words your child can recognize?
Remember, Samsula Academy’s open house is on Sunday from 1-3pm
Next week, we will be learning the –et word family. We will also be studying maps and penguins! It is going to be another fun week!
Thanks,
Mr. Gibbs
Welcome to Kindergarten!
There is a wonderful sense of home when you walk through the front doors of Samsula Academy. I deeply believe that your child will find our school to be a warm and friendly place. I am very proud to be a part of the Samsula Academy School family. Once you have opened those doors you are a member of our family too.
I wish to welcome you to Kindergarten. Kindergarten is a new and exciting time for you and your child. It’s a time of change… new beginnings, new friends, new challenges and exciting discoveries! I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for allowing me to be a part of your child’s life during this precious time of growth and discovery!
This is my honor to welcome you and your child into Kindergarten and into… my life. I will do my best to make this year in Kindergarten enjoyable but also filled with academics. My motto is: “The seeds I plant today will blossom into a flower tomorrow.” It will be my pleasure and privilege to watch your child’s personality and learning abilities blossom and unfold day by day.
I run a very effective classroom which is well structured but allows for fun and growth. I hold high expectations for all my students. Furthermore, I strongly believe in differentiated instruction. Research reveals that all students learn differently. Therefore, I plan my lessons to meet the needs of all students. It will be my honor to expand the growing minds of tomorrow and encourage them to become the great leaders of the new generation.
You will find very useful information on this blog. I will update it with events that are happening in our classroom, student work, and other related events. If you have any questions, you may contact me at cgibbs@readingedgeacademy.org
