Reading: This week we will bring our books to life by reading them like story tellers and acting them out for our partners and eventually, the entire class. We will really use what we have learned about studying our characters to be sure we are using the appropriate expressions, feelings and actions. I know the boys and girls will LOVE this work.
Writing: We wrapped up our true story unit on Friday and will taking these last days of school to dabble with fiction writing. We will learn to make up a name for a character, put them in a place and then imagine what might happen to them in that place. We will strengthen these fictional stories by adding feelings, actions and words for our characters too.
Math: This week we will explore a new measuring concept: capacity. We will work with various items and different size containers and be making predictions about which container we think will fit the most or least and will then test out our thinking, We will also be working one last time and modeling teen numbers in many ways to make them easy to distinguish. We may even take some time to review important concepts by playing some of our favorite math games one last time!
Science: We will use all of the information we have gathered about balls and ramps and how they work and will be designing our own ramp experiments. Our goal will be to draw a blue print for our ramp and then decide what we want the "job" of our ramp to be, build the ramp with various tools (pool noodles, paper tubes, boards) and possibly even video tape these experiments. It will be a great way to wrap up our last Kindergarten science unit.
