Kindergarten News for the week of January 9th – 13th
I will test word list 8 on Thursday or Friday. We will also take the second session of the dibels test on Thursday or Friday. 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 Seeds. We will learn the comprehension skill of drawing conclusions. This is an informational text.
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. Also some of the children have been asking to put on their coats in our classroom because they are cold. I am wearing 2 or 3 layers myself every day because the large blower makes our room feel cold! You may want to send a dress code appropriate sweater or hoodless sweatshirt for your child’s cubby!
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. They should be able to read all sight words taught, recognize numbers to 20, and recognize the penny, nickel and dime and name their value. Your child will be asked to name time to the hour and recognize rhyme. They should also be able to tell a rhyming word that rhymes with a word given by me!
Please continue to call me with any questions or concerns! My school phone number is 874-3661-ext. 3241.
