Kindergarten homeschool plan, week 8
Letters e and l · Where is it? Position words · Fall changes
Week 8 of 36 in kindergarten, in quarter 1. Five days, about 70 minutes each.
Reading: the sounds of e and l, one a day, then blending them with the letters learned before. Sight words: “up” and “look”. The new story is “Did It”, and the reread is “Pam Pins a Map”.
Math: Where is it? Position words. Describing where things are with above, below, beside, next to, in front of and behind.
Science: Fall changes. As the weather cools, leaves change, days get shorter, and animals and people get ready for winter.
Read-alouds: “Why Do Leaves Change Color?”, “Johnny Appleseed”, “Henny Penny”, “The Ant and the Grasshopper” and “The Enormous Turnip”.
For the whole family: Collect leaves on a walk and sort them by color, size and shape.
