Mrs. Wilson and I hope you are enjoying the
beautiful, Spring like weekend!
We have
been very busy in Kindergarten for the last couple of months.
Here are pictures of our Valentine’s
exchange, Character Day,
and Dr. Seuss’ Day.
Thank you so much to Archer’s mom for making such
awesome Valentine’s treats for the class!
Thank you also to Sayda’s grandmother for being our mystery guest reader
on Character Day!
We so appreciate your help and support!
Take a peek into our Spring learning:
·
In Language Arts, we are learning long and short vowel sounds, digraphs (ch,sh,th), and we are still drilling sight words. Please help your child memorize his/her list
from the Sight Word Challenge by practicing it EVERY night! We already have 1/3 of the class who
completed the challenge, and they are now learning more challenging words. If your child is not at least on list 5,
there is a lot of catching up to do!
·
In Math, we have started a new unit called Investigating
Addition and Subtraction. We are
focusing on adding and subtracting sets 0-10 using different strategies and
tools (fingers, cubes, number line, counting on). We are also learning how to write equations
using the +, -, and = signs.
·
In Science, we are learning about living organisms Vs nonliving
things. Ask your child: what is the difference? How do you know when something is
living? We will then learn how to group
animals into characteristics (how they move, where they live…), about animals’ life cycles,
and the similarities and differences between species.
Please let me know if you have any questions
or concerns. Your children are working
hard, and Mrs. Wilson and I are very proud of all they’ve accomplished so far. We are quickly approaching the finish line, so make the best of it with your child by making sure he/she is doing homework every week, reading at least 15 minutes every night, and practicing the skills we are learning in class.
Thank you SO much for all you do to ensure our students' success.
