Mrs. Tarantelli's Kindergarten news for the week of November 4th - 8th


Kindergarten News for the week of November 4th – 8th

There is no school for students on Monday- November 18th.  It is a teacher act 80 day!  Parent-teacher conferences will be held from 12-6pm that day to discuss your child’s progress.  You should have received a paper to sign up for a conference.  Please keep in mind that your kindergarten child will not receive a report card on Monday like the rest of the school!! 

On Monday it will be day 2 on our rotation schedule.  Your child needs to bring his/her library book to exchange it.  We have gym on Tuesday (day 3)  Many children are confused about this because for several weeks gym was on a Friday.  Remember your sneakers for gym class and no more shorts until spring!  Clocks change this weekend!

Our phonics letter for next week will be Ii as in inch and icicles.  The formation of this letter is easy, but the sound is difficult!  We will practice counting the number of syllables in words and the number of words in a sentence.  Please practice the sight words I sent home.   

In math this week we will be learning 2 more and 2 fewer and ordering numbers 0-10. 

In reading this week we will be reading a book called Bear Snores On!  This book is considered an animal fantasy story and we will continue to discuss realism and fantasy. 

Please continue to review the word lists as your child brings them home.  They should have list #3 to practice.  Number 2 should be graded and in their folders either today or Monday.  GO Spartans!!
