I hope everyone was able to enjoy a little extra time with the family during D97's Spring Break. I am eager to get back to work with the kids and finish the year strong!
Here are a few highlights for the last few months.
Reading: We will be focusing on figuring out unknown words in reading for a while. Sometimes we will be practicing figuring out what the word is (sounding it out, breaking it into smaller chunks). Sometimes we will be figuring out what the word means. Enjoy listening to your child read to you at home!
Writing: We will be working on opinion writing and persuasive writing for the next few weeks. We will also learn how to write a letter. Be prepared to be persuaded! We will finish our handwriting book and kids will be asked to pay attention to using lower case letters unless it is the start of a sentence.
Math: We continue to work on composing and decomposing numbers. This is a conceptual way of thinking about addition and subtraction. Our focus now is on teen numbers and finding the tens and ones.
Science: We have a lot going on in Science. WORMS are coming to Kindergarten this week. We will learn about red words and earth worms. We will also have caterpillars. Soon we will even have fish and guppies! We are learning about how to observe animals. We are also working on Materials and Motion-learning about wood, paper, and how things move.
Art Start: We are participating in OPEF's Art Start program with artist Pamela Penney. I have worked with her several times in the past few years and I look forward to working with her again. We will be catching up on some science concepts of Materials and Motion.
