Kindergarten News for the week of February 14th – 18th
We will have our Valentine Party on Monday from 2:00 – 3:00. Your child should make sure they have a valentine for everybody in our class and bring them on Monday morning. Just in case you haven’t done the Valentine cards yet, since the list was made two students have moved. Jenna Sallade and Connor Adams are no longer in our class. Please PRINT all names. The children cannot read cursive writing!
In math this week we will be ordering objects by length and measuring with non-standard units. We will also be making patterns more difficult by making ABC patterns. Lastly we will begin addition and subtraction by calling it some and some more and some and some went away. I will also use the proper terms along with their wording and explaining the names of the signs “plus” and “minus”.
In phonics we will learn the letter Yy as in yarn. Some of the concepts that will be reviewed this week are same/different words, rhyming, alphabetizing words and recognizing the /y/ when heard in words. ***The next letter after Yy is Dd and the children are very excited to be doing a dinosaur project! They will choose a dinosaur next Friday and they will also be given a presentation date for their project!
In reading next week we will be reading a story about a chameleon called Hide, Clyde! It is a cute fiction book but we will also be discussing real chameleons and how they camouflage themselves.
The lunch for February 18th will be a hot dog with pizza and wrap as alternates. This will be a school day now. The children will only be off on Monday - February 21st for President’s Day.
