Kindergarten News for the week of January 31st – February 4th
Next week in kindergarten we will celebrate the 100th day of school----hopefully without weather delays or cancellations! We will also celebrate Groundhog Day and Chinese New Year! We will make our Groundhog Day predictions on Tuesday!
In phonics we will be learning the letter C as in cat. Since you can’t distinguish the sound without knowing how to spell the word, we will write this sound as k,c for spelling sound tests.
In reading we will read a story called Farfallina and Marcel. In this book we will talk about the comprehension strategy “plot” and how friendships are formed and change. We will also review the letter Ff.
In math we will practice handwriting the numbers 12-17 and review the concepts of counting by 10’s, comparing lengths, and problem solving with shapes.
Monday will be day number 3. Book exchange is always on Wednesday. If there is an early dismissal we miss our special class and the day just changes to the following day. If we have a 2 hour delay we still have a special but it is shortened.
Please continue to practice the word lists as you get them. We will be working on word list 11 this week. Some children are still struggling with their sight words. We do practice these daily in class. Let me know if you need an extra copy to practice at home
