Reading and Writing
We began new Route to Reading groups this week. Your child should have come home with a letter stating the skill they are working on. We do Route to Reading 3 times a week. We are working on consonant blends and digraphs in reading. While we continue to review the short vowel sounds, many students are beginning to learn the long vowel patterns such as silent e. As your child writes at home, please work on making sure every word has a vowel! If the vowel says its name, it probably brought along another vowel friend.
Math
Students are working on number sentences up to ten. We are also working on measuring and shapes. As you saw for the homework this week, please continue to practice counting on from a given number. The goal for the end of Kindergarten is to begin counting from any number between and 100.
Social Studies and Science
In Social Studies we learned about different African American heroes. In Science we continued to learn about the water cycle and how water changes into different states of matter.
Upcoming Dates
March 5: End of Trimester
March 17: Spring Pictures-more information to come later
March 21: Report cards go home
Professional Development Days
I will be out for a district required professional development day this Friday. Next Thursday and Friday I will also be out attending a PTO- sponsored Kindergarten conference. Detailed plans will be left for the guest teachers.
Thanks!
Thanks to all of you who contributed to the Fun Fair in any way. The New Beats won the talent competition, but alas, we did not win the pie in the face. The Fun Fair was wildly successful as a fundraiser and an even more successful community builder. Every year the Fun Fair reminds me just how much I love this school and our community.
