Back to school!! 2017This week we are back to school and back to learning. Our main focus has been the Engage New York skills lessons, Unit 3, on blending CVC words. If you want to know more about the curriculum use this web address. https://www.engageny.org/resource/kindergarten-english-language-arts-skills-strand
We have also started a new unit in Math. The children are starting to do addition. A lot of the children already have good counting skills which means they can do basic addition quickly but this year we will be focusing on fluently adding and subtracting within 5 and breaking apart the number 10 with number bonds such as 6+4=10 7+3=10. Number bonds are so important in math and help build the foundation for successful future in addition. Number bonds help students see that numbers can be "broken" into pieces to make decomposing easier. With number bonds, students recognize the relationships between numbers through a written model that shows how the numbers are related. A number bond helps student clearly visualize the Part/Whole relationship.

I'm delighted to be your child's teacher this year. My aim as a teacher is to create a loving and fun learning environment for your child to grow in. I will provide them with the skills and knowledge they need, to help them feel proud of what they do here at CAS. |
