Kindergarten Newsletter for
February 19th – 22nd
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 no
show and tell on Thursday due to the dinosaur projects! When I send oral reading stories home in the
yellow 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.
Tuesday
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.
We will celebrate Read Across America day on Friday March 1st
.
We will have guest students 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 Wednesday. (We have
reading buddies on a Wednesday 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!
Have a wonderful long weekend!
As always, you can call me at school (570-874-3661 ext. 3241) , set up a
conference or email (atarantelli@northschuylkill.net) me
about your child’s progress!
