Kindergarten

Every week Jonathan brings home a huge bundle of papers and projects from school. I am always really impressed at the work he produces, especially in math.

I pull some of the work out to keep every week.
Here are some examples of what they are doing in K in a regular old public school in Florida:
*Comparing Solid and Plane Figures (draw a line from the solid figure to the plane figure it makes)
*Using Logical Reasoning to Find Lines of Symmetry
*Attributes of Plane Figures (Use pattern blocks to make each shape shown on worksheet; then trace the blocks to show which shapes you used)
*Halves and Fourths (circle objects that show halves; circle objects that show fourths)
*Word Families: _ap, _ug, _oat, _ake

He talks about classifying and categorizing objects. They are always working with graphs. Last week he brought home Venn diagrams. I can't believe the work they do! When I was in K, we learned one letter sound per week, pretty much stayed focused on beginning sounds, and maybe learned to write our name. Mostly we learned not to pee in our pants and eat glue and paste. I can't believe the work he brings home!
