Kindergarten News for the week of February 27th - March 2nd

Kindergarten Newsletter for February 27^th – March 2^nd  

This week in school we will be learning the letter Vv.  This is easy for the children!  They seem to understand it after Valentine’s Day!  The formation is simple too!  We will count the number of syllables in words.  We will practice the words on word list 14 each day. We will have homework again next week and we will have show and tell on Thursday!  If I ever forget to send a bag, you can use any bag and our show and tell is always on a Thursday!  When I send oral reading stories home in the purple folder, you only have to read the most recent one---not all of them!  I’ve had some questions!

In math we will be paying for items up to 50 cents using nickels.  This is difficult if your child can’t count by 5’s to 50!  We practice this every day in class.  If you see your child struggling, you may want to practice at home as well!  We will divide by sharing, identify and order numbers and compare sets of objects.  We will compare numbers up to 10.  Please review skills as they come home each day.

Monday will be day number 1.  Remember, we have gym every time it is day 3.  Your child needs sneakers to be able to take gym.

In reading we will finish Unit 4 reading a story called Abuela.  This is a fictional story about a girl and her grandmother going on an adventure flying around the city.  We will again learn the term setting. 

Congratulations to the children who did a great job with their Dinosaur project!!  Many children helped us all learn more about their chosen dinosaur. 

We will celebrate Read Across America day on Friday March 2^nd .  We will have guest student teachers from Bloomsburg University come to teach a lesson using a Dr. Seuss book!  I would like to invite any parent to come in to visit and read at the end of any day except a Thursday.  (We have reading buddies on a Thursday at the end of the day!)  This could happen any day after 2:45.  Please let me know if you are interested!  It does not have to be a Dr. Seuss book, but I do have a large collection of them if you would like to choose one!
