April 7th-11th


Kindergarten News- April 7th – 11th

 

v  This week since we have finished all the letters of the alphabet, we will be working on a new concept.  We will learn about long vowels, and the new rule is “a vowel not followed by a consonant is long: code it with a macron.  Some examples are-hi, me he, and she.

 

v  All of the girls enjoyed being “Queen for a day” on Friday. The girls got to wear crowns and the boys did nice things for them all day.

 

 

v  We will try to begin our Foss Science Kit called “Animals Two by Two”.

 

v  Please send any report cards back to school. Please sign and return it in the envelope as soon as you can.  I did not include the rubric since you had the opportunity to review what our expectations were for your child on their first report card.  If you have any questions please feel free to send me a note or an e-mail.

 

v  For Reading we will begin “Abuela” Its genre is fiction, and the comprehension skill is setting.  The social studies concept of this unit is “Adventures You Can Have in the City”.

 

v  In Math we will be working with identifying numbers 11-30, and composing and decomposing 11 through 30.

 

 

v  Kindergarten physicals are on Thursday April 10th.

 

v  Kindergarten graduation pictures also went well thanks to the help of a few wonderful homeroom moms.

 

 

v  Wordlist # 16 was checked, and almost the whole class got perfect papers!  Wow!!!  Wordlist # 17 should be in your child’s folder today.

 

     The wedding of Q and U will be on Friday, April 11th...  Mrs. Pott’s class has been invited and they have responded that they will be in attendance.  I am sending a separate reminder note about this event.

 

 

If you are a homeroom parent and have met all of the PTO requirements, we would love to have you help us for the field trip.  If you can go to the Pioneer Tunnel with us please let me know ASAP.

 

The PTO fund raiser pick up will be on Friday from 4 to 7.

 

 

 

Monday - April 7th is Day 1—we will begin the week with art class.
