HANDWRITING/WRITING
We are working on thinking like writers and getting our ideas on paper using pictures and words.  We are also labeling, stretching out words, and using our vowels.  This week we are working on turning our writing and ideas into books and scrolls.  We are working on thinking about what we are going to write and planning it out across all of the pages in our story. Including details and labeling in our pictures is an important way to tell more about our story. 

CORE KNOWLEDGE
Kindergarteners will learn about Kings and Queens, the Royal Family, and traditional songs and peoms related to Kings and Queens.
