Kindergarten week of February 6th - 10th

Kindergarten News for the week of February 6th – 10th
We will have our Valentine Party on Tuesday- Feb 14th . Your child should make sure they have a valentine for everybody in our class and bring them on Monday morning. Just in case you haven’t done the Valentine cards yet, it’s easier if you would please PRINT all names. The children cannot read cursive writing!
In math this week we will be copying line segments and designs of varying complexity on a geoboard. We will measure objects using nonstandard units. We will also be making patterns more difficult by making ABC patterns.
In phonics we will learn the letter Ee as in elephant and equal. Some of the concepts that will be reviewed this week are same/different words, rhyming, alphabetizing words and recognizing the /e/ when heard in words. The sound is difficult for the letter /e/! We will practice. In reading next week we will be reading a story One Little Mouse. This is considered a rhyming/concept book. We will discuss the sequence of this story. We will also discuss the concept of consonant blends.
Please check the note in your child’s folder that will tell you about the special dress days for Bully Awareness Week!
We learned how to make predictions this week for Groundhog day and the super bowl!!
Monday is day 3 on our rotation week! We have gym! Please wear or bring sneakers!
