Kindergarten news for the week of January 27th - 31st


Kindergarten News for the week of January 27th – 31st  

Next week in Phonics we will be learning the consonant letter Cc as in cat.  Show & Tell will continue next week on Thursday.   You will notice that in Phonics on your child’s spelling sound test they will now write k,c for any word beginning with /k/.  It could really be either letter so we write k, which we learned first, and then c.  We will also learn a rule that I will send home to help your child figure out which letter (k or c) a particular word starts with.  Your child should have brought home word list 10 today in their folder.  Please let me know if you didn’t get one!

·        Our 100th day is just a few school days away!!!  Please practice counting from 0-100.  We will have a great day celebrating the 100th day!

·        Report cards will be sent home on Monday.  Please sign and return as soon as possible.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact us. (570-874-3661 ext.3241)

·        Please try to keep up with our rotation days for the gym schedule.  Monday will be day 3 and we will have gym!  Children may wear boots and change into sneakers when they arrive.

·        The children really did a great job on their state reports!  I hope to finish all of them by Monday.  We all learned a lot!  The reports are on display on our bulletin board and will come home next week!

·        This week in math we will be learning about the new concept of subtraction.

·        Our next reading book will be called Seeds.  This is a nonfiction book.

·        Another event we will be learning about this week is Groundhog Day.  We will discuss making a prediction. 

Please continue to read the paper books I send home for evening reading.  These are yours to keep.  I have been noticing that some of the children need a little more practice with oral reading.  Those that don’t need practice are proud of what they can do!  Have a great weekend!    

Your child should have brought home their Valentine list today!  Let me know if you didn’t get one!
