Needed

-3 oz dixie cups (used for snack)

Wild Learning in Kindergarten

-Heart word of the week: said

-The reading strategy we focused on this week was retelling stories.

-For writing this week, we worked on a visitor's guide for our city.  We created a map and a key to go with the map.  We then wrote what each place in the city was.

-In math, we continued developing and solving story problems.

-During our social studies time, we worked on distinguishing between needs and wants.  We were also introduced to the difference between goods and services.

-Our city continued to be open this week during our community center time.  This week, we added a train station.  At our train station, we practiced writing train tickets and writing a train schedule.  We also opened a car dealership.  We were then able to drive our cars around the city.  Before we could drive the cars around the city, we had to take a driver's test in order to get our driver's license.
