Kindergarten News for the week of Valentine's day


Kindergarten News for the Week of February 11th – 15th   

There is no school for students on Friday- February 15th or on Monday- February 18th .

In phonics next week we will be learning the letter Dd.  We will be doing dinosaur projects the following week and your child should have a paper with the dinosaur name they selected and their assigned date.  The index cards I gave them can be used to write facts on each card.  We will not have our regular show and tell.  We only have 6 more alphabet letters to learn.  The girls are anxiously waiting to be queens for a day when we learn the letter Qq!  Unfortunately, it is the last letter we learn!  Don’t forget to study the next word list (#14) that was also in your child’s folder today!

In math we will be learning the following math concepts: identifying nickels, counting by 5’s to 100, counting nickels to 50 cents and paying for objects up to 50 cents, identifying a cylinder and ordering objects by height, and making ABC patterns with sound and movement.

 In reading we will begin reading the story If You Could Go to Antarctica.  This is an earth science story and is considered an informational text.  We will learn to classify and categorize.

Book orders are due to me by Wednesday February 13th  if you are interested in buying anything.  You may also order them online.  Use my code when entering your order on Scholastic.com .
