Uu Kindergarten Newsletter for the week of January 16th – 20th
• The second marking period will be ending on Tuesday and we will continue testing. Students will be asked to write correctly their first and last names, numbers 0-10, and capital and lowercase letters learned. They will need to identify letter and sounds, numbers 0-10, count orally to 30, basic shapes, and rhyming words. Students will be asked to blend 2, 3, and 4 letter words and read some already learned high- frequency sight words. Please take some time to review these skills with your child. Report cards will be sent home some time on or around January 20th. It is hard to believe our year is half way over!
In phonics next week we will learn the letter Uu as in umbrella and unicorn. We will not have show and tell in the regular way. We will have a United States report! Your child should have received a state, papers and the date that it is due. Let me know if you did not!
• Our next math lessons will be about identifying and ordering the numbers 0-20, identifying what numbers come between two given numbers, before a given number and after a given number, identifying a 1 cup measuring cup and following a recipe and discussing full, half full and empty containers.
• Our next story in reading will be called Hide, Clyde. It is a life science concept book about chameleons and the children really enjoy it!!
• Tuesday will be day number 4 on our rotation schedule.
• We took the dibels test again. I will only let you know if the results were not as good as they should be for this time of the year. We should know the results in the next few weeks.
• I will send the January book orders home on Tuesday!
• The children are looking forward to the 100th day. We only have 11 more school day!
