Kindergarten 2

Today we will be learning how to count
syllables in words.

A syllable is a part of a word that contains
sounds. It is also called a beat, and you can
count syllables by clapping out the beats.

Another way to count syllables is by putting
your hand under your chin as you say the
word and counting how many times your
jaw drops.

Let’s practice counting syllables. You can
count syllables using the method that helps
you learn best.

Great
Work!

Today’s objective:

You will be able to name and continue a

repeating pattern.

What is a repeating

pattern?

A repeating pattern has a
rule that repeats over and

over again.

Watch this video to learn about how we

name patterns!

Naming Patterns

Each new picture, shape, color, or
movement gets a new letter! That’s

how a pattern is named!

Let’s

practice!

We’re going to use
our bodies to make

some patterns!

The first thing we will do
is stomp! Since this is the
first thing we’re doing, we

give it the name A.

The next thing we will do
is clap! Since this is the

second thing we’re doing,

we give it the name B.

For this pattern every stomp will be A

and every clap will be B!

A

B

This is an AB pattern since we keep repeating A and B.

A

Can you think of a different AB pattern to try with our bodies?

Awesome!

Let’s try a different kind of

pattern!

The first thing we will do
is pat! Since this is the

first thing we’re doing, we

give it the name A.

The next thing we will do
is snap! Since this is the
second thing we’re doing,

we give it the name B.

For this pattern every pat will be A

and every snap will be B!

A

B

This is an AAB pattern since we repeat A twice and B

once.

give it the name A.

The next thing we will do
is clap! Since this is the

second thing we’re doing,

we give it the name B.

The next thing we will do
is snap! Since this is the
third thing we’re doing,
we give it the name C.

For this pattern every pat will be A,
every clap will be B, and every snap

will be C!

This is an ABC pattern since we keep repeating A, B,

third thing we’re doing,
we give it the name C.

The next thing we will do
is snap! Since this is the
fourth thing we’re doing,

we give it the name D.

For this pattern every stomp will be
A, every pat will be B, every clap will

be C, and every snap will be D!

Great work! Today we are going to learn
about beginning sounds.

Beginning sounds are the very first sounds you hear in words.
These can also be called initial sounds or first sounds.

Let’s look at some examples!

Hat begins

with H.

Rim begins

with R.

Bond begins

with B.

Sing begins

with S.

Check for Understanding:

What is a beginning sound?

Which part of the word can you find the beginning sound in?

What are the two other words you might hear that mean the
same thing as beginning sound?

Great work so far!

You will need your whiteboards for this
next activity.

The following slides will have a picture and
a word, but it is missing the beginning
sound! You will need to write down the
missing beginning sound on your white
board.

Ready, set, go!

Now, let’s play a game called change the
beginning sound! The next slides will have
a word, and you will read that word. Each
time the slide changes, the middle and
ending sound will stay the same, but the
beginning sound will change. You will try
to read the new word with the new
beginning sound as fast as you can.

Let’s get
started!

Math

Today’s objective:

You will be able to represent

numbers 1-10 by using a ten-frame
to identify how much less a number

is than 10.

This is a ten-frame!

Why do you think it’s called a ten-frame?

Because it has 10
individual boxes,

or frames!

Wonderful!

Let’s

practice!

How many dots are on this

ten-frame?

Now that you’ve got
it, let’s play a game!

Now, I am going to read
you a story. I will ask you
questions after, so listen

closely.

Here are some vocabulary
words you will hear in the

story.
