We have made it through the first month back after break and I’m
glad to report we have all fallen back into our classroom routines!
The class is very excited about our new C.A.R.E. program and
students are recognized for displaying safe, responsible and respective actions.
Language Art
We have begun a new unit in our writing program called Writing
for Readers. The students are
proofreading their writing for understanding and legibility. They are also making sure they leave spaces
and use upper and lower case letters correctly.
We are continuing to work on our short vowel sounds. We are learning that every word needs to have a vowel in it.
Math
In Math we have introduced Geometry and Measurement. We will start to compare numbers and continue
working on our number sentences.
Science & Social Studies
We have begun our Properties unit in science and have been
experimenting with magnifying glasses and magnets. In social studies we have been discussing communities
and talking about how our school community is different than our home
community.
Thank you all for reading with your child every night. It is very important that students practice
their reading at night by reading to someone for 10-15 minutes a day. It is evident that you have been reading with
them because they are really starting to flourish as readers. Keep up the good work!
Thank you all for bringing in box tops for our classroom! The
penny wars have begun and the students are excited to bring their pennies down
to the foyer to fill up the Kindergarten jar.
** Reminder**
When there is an early dismissal day due to inclement
weather students will go home on the bus unless a note is sent in with them
that day.
Please
remind your child what they are having for lunch before arriving at
school. They can either have the first
menu option for that day or a bagel.
