This week we will be revisiting the stories The Hat, The Mitten, and The Three Snow Bears by Jan
Brett. With these three stories, we will be strengthening our retelling skills. We will also be reading
a new story by Jan Brett, The Gingerbread Baby. Along with all of these stories we will be working
on our comparing and contrasting skills.
In writing, we will be making a class book about our favorite Jan Brett story and really working on
our opinion writing skills.
Our Desert Habitat research project is just around the corner (we will be
beginning next week). If you haven't already, please send in a small/regular
shoe box (please no extra large/boot type) if you are able. If you have an extra
you don't mind sending in, it is always appreciated as not everyone is able to
send a shoe box in. We will also need sandpaper, green and blue felt, and rocks.
In math we will be wrapping up our unit focus on teen numbers. Developing
the understanding of these numbers as "10 and some more" is foundational to
strong number sense and can be a bit tricky (also some of the names are just
weird so continued reinforcement can be very beneficial for our Kindergartners).
