Kindergarten News
This week in Phonics we will be learning the digraph sh as in shark and ship. For Show and Tell we will try something a little different, we will try an “Easter Egg” show and tell. Please use the plastic egg sent home with your child. The schedule will be the same for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but due to our spring break—the Friday students will share on Monday (4/18) instead. **see the ½ sheet of paper in your child’s folder for more details.
For Reading we will begin the story Messenger, Messenger by Robert Burleigh. It is a rhyming story and we will be talking about transportation jobs. The comprehension skill we will focus on with this story is compare and contrast and the phonics skill will be the short /u/ sound. A new Family Times newsletter will be sent home on Monday.
In Math, we will be identifying the time of day as day or night, and morning, afternoon, or evening. We will be counting by 2’s and learning about even and odd numbers, as well as acting out story problems for subtraction. Please review daily practice pages!
On Wednesday, April 20th there will be a BRAINSHOWMANIA program in the gym for all students. Be sure to ask your child about this exciting game show-like assembly!!!
Thursday, April 21st will be our Easter party and egg hunt. We will be searching for our class eggs with the word “from” on them. **Each class will have a different high frequency sight word to try and make the hunt more challenging and fair for all.
Congratulations to our class for collecting the most money in Kindergarten for the “Coins for Critters” project! We collected over $70!!! Thank you to all who contributed. We have earned an ice cream party for our class. How COOL!!!
