November was a quick yet busy month here in Kindergarten! Students were very excited to start learning Heart Words. Heart words are words that we see often when reading and use often when writing. The reason they are called Heart Words is because in many of them, there is one or more parts that we have to learn by heart because they either don't follow the spelling rules or it is a spelling rule we have not yet learned. Heart words are also referred to as sight words.
Writing
Students have made a lot of progress in their storytelling this month. Students started the year by learning how to draw people and places using shapes. Then they learned how to draw a background and practiced telling their story to a classmate. Next the students practiced using their letter/ sound knowledge to add labels to the people and objects in their picture. Then we started using our Heart Words and our letter/sound knowledge to try write a simple sentence to go with our pictures. Here are some examples of their work. They are doing a great job!
Happy Thanksgiving! We ended November with a special Thanksgiving snack.
