Kindergarten News

      For Reading we will begin Unit 5: Going Places.  Our first story will be Max Takes the Train by Rosemary Wells.  It is an animal fantasy story and we will be discussing realism and fantasy.  Please practice all sight words daily!  Since we will be working with the letter Jj and its sound as in joke, students are asked to tell a kid’s JOKE this week.  Jokes can be written down or memorized and should be practiced at home before they are told to the class.  Jokes can be shared any day!

     For Math, we will continue with Unit 5; Understanding Subtraction.  Students will act out and solve subtraction word problems, will use the minus sign to represent take away situations when recording subtraction, will use the equal sign, subtract, and write the difference.  Review practice pages as they come home in the folder.
