Another awesome week in kindergarten, in the books! In math, we continued our unit on comparing numbers and working with tens and ones! We learned the greater than, less than, and equal to signs. The students quickly grasped the concept that the "alligator's" mouth tries to eat the greater number and it's behind points to the lesser one. For example: 32>14 and 25<52
This coming week we will focus on pennies and dimes and how much they are worth and how ten pennies equal a dime. We will be relating our learning of pennies and dimes to what we all ready know about tens and ones and composing and decomposing numbers. Please see the standards for our math unit below. Work with numbers 11–19 to gain foundations for place value. MGSEK.NBT.1 Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones to understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six , seven, eight, or nine ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 18 = 10 + 8) Know number names and the count sequence. MGSEK.CC.3 Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects). Count to tell the number of objects. MGSEK.CC.4 Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. a. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. (one-to-one correspondence) MGSEK.CC.5 Count to answer ‘how many?” questions. a. Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a variety of ways (a line, a rectangular array, or a circle), or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration. b. Given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects. c. Identify and be able to count pennies within 20. (Use pennies as manipulatives in multiple mathematical contexts.) MGSE1.NBT.7 Identify dimes, and understand ten pennies can be thought of as a dime. (Use dimes as manipulatives in multiple mathematical contexts.) Compare numbers. MGSEK.CC.6 Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.1 MGSEK.CC.7 Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. MGSEK.MD.3 Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.2 MGSE1.NBT.1 Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. ** In writing, we continued our Show and Tell unit. We had a blast describing leaves and labeling all of the different parts in detail! I loved seeing all the detailed writing! Here are the writing standards we are working on: ELAGSEKW3: Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event or several loosely linked events, tell about the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a reaction to what happened. In Reading integrated with Social Studies, we continued to learn more about our PYP unit on “how we express ourselves”. We continued to identify and explain the meaning of American symbols (statue of liberty, American flag, liberty bell, etc.) This coming week we will begin talking about Thanksgiving and symbols for this holiday. Students will get to share their Thanksgiving family traditions. For instance, do they eat certain foods only on this Holiday, see special family members, etc. Here are the reading standards we are working on: ELAGSEKRL1: With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text. ELAGSEKRF4: Read common high-frequency words by sight. (e.g., the, of, to, you, she, my, is, are, do, does) This past week we learned and reviewed the digraphs ch, sh, and th
