Kindergarten week of February 7th - 11th

Kindergarten news for the week of February 7th – 14th
~~In Phonics next week we will be finishing the letter Cc and begin learning the vowel letter Ee with its short sound as in elephant and egg and its long sound as in equal and eagle. We will be focusing on the short vowel sound. We will not have show and tell!
~~Homeroom parents have begun planning for the Valentine’s Day party, so please send in your child’s party money as soon as possible. We have asked for $4.00 to cover the cost of the Valentine’s and Easter parties. I am missing about half of the party money.
~~In reading next week we will read the story Seeds. Ask your child what they learned about seeds and watch for the Parent Newsletter to come home on Monday!
~~In math this week we will learn how to compare length by identifying shorter and longer, order objects by length, naming a shape piece by using the attributes of shape, color and size and copying line segments, shapes and designs on a geoboard.
We had a fabulous 100th day! Ask your child about all the “100” activities we did. (We saw how long it takes to melt 100 ice cubes, how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, which weighs more 100 cotton balls or 100 q-tips etc!!!!)
Please return the physical forms as soon as possible. Not everyone needs a physical. A purple half sheet was sent home with those that need one!
