Kindergarten News for the week of April 4th- 8th
Please send in your Graduation picture order forms by Wednesday- April 6th. (The reason for this is because our class is going first and it would be very difficult to call parents to see if you want pictures.) The children should wear a white collared shirt if possible since that is all that will show from under the gown. Every child’s picture will be taken for the group picture, so we would appreciate if you would dress your child appropriately, even if you are not purchasing pictures. The pictures will be taken promptly at 9:00 and there is no scheduled make-up day, so please try to have your child there in time so your child is not rushed.
We have finished learning all of the letters, but we still have much to learn! Next week we will learn the long vowel rule. (If a vowel is not followed by a consonant, the vowel is long and it is coded with a macron. Examples are: a, hi, me so)
In math we will be learning about tangrams , identifying largest and smallest shapes, identifying and covering half of a shape, paying for items using pennies, nickels , dimes or a quarter.
We are continuing to learn about wood and paper in science. The children are really enjoying this!
In reading we will read a story called Abuela by Arthur Dorros. This is a fictional story and we will focus on the comprehension skill of setting.
We are now in the last marking period and the time will fly by until the end of the year! If you have questions or concerns about your child’s report card or their progress, please call me at school anytime between 7:45 and 3:45.
Our field trip will be on May 26th and we will be going to The Ringling Brothers Circus in Hershey! It will be a great day!
We really enjoyed the wedding of Q and U and hopefully everyone will remember that Q and U are stuck like glue!
Monday will be day 1 on our rotation schedule and we will have gym on Tuesday! Library book exchange will be on Wednesday!

Kindergarten news for March 14th- 18th
Kindergarten News for the week of March 14th – 18th
Next week we will be working on the letter Xx as in the end of fox and x-ray. Students will go on a treasure hunt throughout the building to find the “X” that marks the spot of their hidden treasure! This treasure hunt will be on Friday. How exciting!!! There will be NO Show and Tell.
I hope you enjoyed the newspaper activities this week!
In reading this week we will read the story One Little Mouse. This is a rhyming concept story that focuses on consonant blends and sequencing. Continue to read the little books I send home for fluency practice.
In kidwriting the children are beginning to attempt to write 2 or more sentences on their own each day! This is scary for some children but some took right off with it!
In math we will work with tangram pieces, identify small and large shapes, begin to measure length, graph a picture on a pictograph and explore slides, flips and turns with shapes.
***Please remember that gym is always on DAY 2---wear sneakers!
Monday will be day 2 on our rotation schedule.
***Library day is always on Wednesday! Please help your child locate his/her book so they can get a new book each week!
