Kindergarten News for the week of March 7th – 11th
This week in phonics we will be learning the letter Jj as in jar. We will be identifying the vowel sounds heard in words. They will begin a new take-home reader called Pig’s Jet. We will begin to discuss what an accent is and how to find it in a word. I will test word list 15 .
In math this week we will be making an ABBC pattern with pattern blocks, divide by sharing, comparing numbers through 10, identifying left and right, and beginning to explore tangrams.
In reading this week we will read the story Max Takes the Train. The main character of this book is Max, from Max and Ruby. This is an animal fantasy book. We will review the comprehension skill of realism vs. fantasy. Watch for homework this week! And Jj show and tell.
We enjoyed having visitors from Bloomsburg University teach us a lesson for Read Across America day! (Dr. Seuss’s Birthday!) We also had guest readers. We will be learning about St. Patrick’s day, reading some leprechaun stories and Irish tall tales.
Please don’t forget to look for my ad in the classifieds this week. Your child will get a treat if they bring it.
Please make sure your child has their library book on library day. Some children are telling me they can’t find them.
We wish Devin good luck in his new school and had a good-bye party for him! We also make cookie, marshmallow and licorice Cat in the Hats!
