Reading: As nonfiction readers, we have learned how to identify the main topic of our books and retell key details by pointing to text evidence in the book! This week, we will transfer that learning by teaching others about our topics and writing about them. Students will act out their books and read aloud (just like a teacher!) to share their books and learn with peers. We will celebrate our nonfiction unit on Friday by creating posters about our favorite main topics. Check around the hallways of school to view your child's work!

Writing: We will make their books the best they can be by adding more details and fixing up all conventions. Students will use a checklist to help them get ready to publish. We are excited to share our all about books on Thursday during our Author's Breakfast! Stop by between 7:15-7:45 to read our books! After publishing a book to share for Author's Breakfast, writers will be encouraged to keep writing EVEN more all about books to fill their folders!

Here is one of the checklists the writers will use:


Math: Mathematicians will learn about "magic number equations". Magic number equations make everything disappear! For example, 3-3, 5-5, etc. Students will be able to practice this skill by making a snack disappear:) Here are all the patterns we have learned to help us add and subtract so far:

• When you +1, you count up
• When you -1, you count backwards
• When you +0 or -0, the number stays the same
• When you subtract a number from the same number, it disappears to make 0

Mathematicians have been learning that there are some equations that they just know by thinking of the pattern, but there are some equations that they may need to solve using a strategy. We will introduce this chart as a reminder of the strategies the Kindergartners can use to solve addition and subtraction equations.

Science/Social Studies: We will start to build a base for our Self Study inquiry with a read aloud, video aloud, and song. Students will have whole class conversation about the book It’s Okay to be Different by Todd Parr. We will create a class book after watching a video of a poem called, “I am Me!” Here is the link  to the poem. Each student will add a page that says, “No one _____ the way I ____.” Finally, we will create a self-portrait after listening to  the song “What I Am” by Will.I.Am. Here is the link to the song. I am excited for students to start thinking about what makes them special…we know they are!

Hello NDLC Families, 

Enrollment for the 2018-2019 school year is underway and we have a few spots available in Kindergarten! We find that word of mouth is the best way to market our school. 

If you have friends or family with upcoming Kindergarten-aged students, please share what you love about our school! As always, families can also call Mrs. Frischmann at 766-6116 to set up individual tours.
