This Week: I wrapped up our final kindergarten assessments for your child’s final report card! iReady results will also be included, but remember, especially at the kindergarten level, please, please use the report card and what we discussed at conferences to see what your child’s growth looked like this year. Those digital iReady assessments in the younger years aren’t always the most accurate. The diagnostics are also just one little snapshot versus report cards which take into account months of teacher observation, formative and summative assessments. 🙂
Next Week:
Kindergarten celebration: We will be practicing our songs for the Kindergarten Celebration on Wednesday, June 3rd!
Language Arts:
We have completed all of our Math workbooks! We’ll be doing lots of math games and centers to review ALL kindergarten math concepts:
- Representing numbers to 20 with a written numeral
- Measurement: length and height (compare and describe)
- Weight: describing attributes of weight and comparing and describing weights.
- Counting to 100. At home, please practice counting to 100 (or beyond)!
- Addition and subtraction: we are working on writing and solving addition equations within within 10. Students need to be able to identify +, -, = (plus sign, minus sign and equal to) and label equations as either “addition” or “subtraction.”
- Counting by 10s: We will continue to practice skip counting by 10s to 100. Practice at home!
- Counting by 5s: We will continue to practice skip counting by 5s. Practice at home!
- Counting by 2s: We will continue to practice counting 2s to 20. Practice at home!
