November whizzed past me! It feels like our letter study is just a big pot of alphabet soup at this point. So, best to just give you the links to a few of the utube stations that I have shared. Here you go-
You should be able to find videos for all of the letters of the alphabet and most of the sight words, but not all. They also have great videos about shapes, counting and other basic math skills. These are two of my all time favorite digital resources! If you find others that you and your K kid enjoy, please share them with me.
Last month we focused on family. We read many books about what it means to be a family and concluded that all families are special but share many similarities.
Here are a few of the books we read together last month.
Loving by Ann Morris is a beautifully photographed nonfiction book about families around the world. Ann Morris provides her readers the marvelous opportunity to look at families through a multicultural lens. The kids were able to take away the notion that no matter where people live, families love and care for one another. There is a terrific index and world map at the back of this book. These text features both excite and teach the children about different countries throughout the world.
Todd Parr books always promise to delight! The Family Book is no exception. His silly and colorful illustrations always make us smile. This is another wonderful book that shows the many, many ways to be a family and each is connected with one consistent thread, LOVE!
After reading about families I shared some Thanksgiving stories with the class. One of my favorites is A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting.
The turkey in this book is especially thankful for his vegetarian hosts!
And there is so much to be thankful for - your wonderful children this amazing class and the privilege of being their Kindergarten teacher. Here is a song we sang together.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
