Kindergarten Blog – 6/4/21

Dear Families,

In phonics, we continue to work with vowel sounds and word families through games and puzzles. We are working on end of the year preparations, such as signs for eighth grade graduation. Students are also writing letters to their first grade teachers! They are writing about themselves, and what they want their teachers to know.

As part of our coin study, Kindergarteners are creating a store. We are making some items to sell in our store, like mini crowns, paper airplanes, and notebooks. Students are discussing what jobs are needed in a store, how they should price the items, and what coins can be used.

In Hebrew, students are learning more about grammar, for example masculine and feminine pronouns for objects. We are learning more about the five senses, and how we use them every day! Students are gaining more and more vocabulary to describe the world around us! In Judaic studies, we are also studying the Parashat ha Shavua: Shalach.

Shabbat Shalom,

Dawn, Talia, Anat, and Atalya

Music with Heidi

In Music, Kindergarteners continue to enjoy singing the song “Bonnie the Beautiful Butterfly.” They have reinforced their rhythm reading skills by saying, clapping and drumming the rhythms of Vivaldi’s Spring Concerto (First Movement) from The Four Seasons. They also have a good sense of the story of that piece – ask them about it! This week, Kindergarteners created a body rhythm thunderstorm in honor of the thunderstorm in the sonnet that inspired Vivaldi’s Spring.
