March 14th-18th

                                     Kindergarten New- April -14^th-18th

 

 

 

v  This week, since we have covered all of the letters of the alphabet, we will now   be working on final digraph ck.  The rule is that when the/k/ sound comes at the end of a word, and there is a short vowel before it, you use the diagraph “ck”.  Examples:  black , duck,  lock

 

v   Keep practicing with your child to help them write as many words as they can in ten minutes so that they will be successful on the end of the year test.

 

v   The wedding of Q and u went very well.  We had a lovely ceremony, and we feasted on wedding cake, ice cream, and punch.  The children had a wonderful time blowing wedding bubbles outside, and we dance at the reception.  All the parts for our wedding were randomly chosen by picking the children’s names from a hat so that it would be fair.

 

v  Reading-We are introducing the story Max Takes the Train.  This book was written by an author you may be familiar with --“Rosemary Wells”.  She has written and illustrated over 60 children’s books.  The genre for this book is animal fantasy and the comprehension skill is realism and fantasy.

 

v  Some of the science concepts that we will be covering are how to mix colors, and make-believe animals.

 

v  The Social studies concepts will be revolved around forms of transportation.

 

v   Report cards should be signed and returned as soon as possible. 

 

       In Math we are finished with Topic 10 and the test will come home to be signed and for you to get an idea of what your student has accomplished.  Please review the pages that come home in your child’s folder daily.

 

      The children are doing a wonderful job with their kidwriting.  You might see some papers coming home that the children are doing at learning centers while I am kidwriting with another group.  All of the learning center activities revolve around things that we introduce in class, and are an extension of their learning.

 

We are not having an Easter party but we will have an egg hunt and my class will have to find eggs with our memory word “said” on them.  Help your child practice this at home.

 

Monday, April 14th^th is day # 1 and we have art class.

 

There will be no school on Friday April 18^th and the children will be back at school on Monday April 21^st, due to make-up snow days.

 

Enjoy the warmer weather this weekend!!!!!!
