Kindergarten week of February 28th - March 4th

Kindergarten Newsletter for February 28th – March 4th
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 15 each day. We will start homework again next week and we will have show and tell. If I ever forget to send a bag, you can use any bag and our show and tell is always on a Thursday!
Library book exchange is always on Wednesday! Please bring your books!
In math we will be creating, identifying and extending ABC patterns using sound and movement. We will be paying for items up to 50 cents using nickels. 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.
Monday will be day number 4. Remember, we have gym every time it is day 2. Your child needs sneakers to be able to take gym.
In reading we will begin unit 4. I had intended to begin it this week but we had many absences of the children in our class and I didn’t get to give the review test until Thursday! Our first story in this unit is called Bunny Day. It is an animal fantasy book and we will learn the skill of sequence. We will also review the letter Hh.
Congratulations to the children who did a great job with their Dinosaur project!! Many children helped us all learn more about their chosen dinosaur.
A note went home with information about a spaghetti supper that will be held next Friday- March 4th to benefit the families that were burned out because of the terrible fire in Girardville.
We will celebrate Read Across America day on Friday March 4th. We will have guest student teachers from Bloomsburg University come to teach a lesson using a Dr. Seuss book! My husband will also come to read Green Eggs and Ham! He will be in uniform in case they say a police officer read to them!
