During Writers’ Workshop this week we began learning about “All About Books” (commonly know to adults as nonfiction texts). The children began by comparing nonfiction Big Books with Dr. Seuss books. Here are some of the things they noticed:
“The pictures and writing was bigger.”
“They are more grown-upy.”
“The pictures are realistic.”
“It told me what a Bumble Bee egg looks like and is called.”
“It taught me things.”
“It was written about real things.”
“The pictures are taken with a camera.”
“Sometimes they have experiments.”
In Math are working on Volume 2, Unit 4 in the Kindergarten Math Expressions program. This unit builds on the children’s understanding of addition and subtraction story problems. The children will deepen their knowledge of problem solving as they learn the reverse connection of creating story problems for addition and subtraction equations they have solved. They will also continue partner work for partners 2 through 6 (example; 1 & 4 are partners for 5 because 1 + 4 = 5) and practice visualizing teen numbers as a ten and extra ones.
