kindergarten week of January 10th

Kindergarten News for the week of January 10th – 14th
Next week is a short week due to having no school on Friday- January 14th. I will test word list 8 on Thursday. We will take the second session of the dibels test on Wednesday or Thursday. Your child will have to read nonsense words, name letters, use words in sentences and identify pictures that have similar sounds as those named.
In math we will be comparing sets of objects and numbers through 6. We will weigh objects using nonstandard units and ordering objects by weight. Lastly, we will be combining sets by counting on and using numbers to describe how many objects are in a set.
In phonics we will be learning the letter Bb. We will have show and tell on Thursday. If I ever forget to send a bag home, a grocery bag would be fine.
In reading we will read the story Little Quack. We will learn about sequence and responsibility while enjoying this story. We will also learn the comprehension skill of plot.
Please continue to dress your child for the weather! We go outside every day that it is possible. Hats and gloves make their time outside more enjoyable.
We will be testing for report cards next week. We have learned the letters L,O,G,H,T,P,A,N,M,I,S,F,R and K. Your child should recognize these(capital and lowercase letters) and know the corresponding sound.
