Kindergarten News: March 28- April 1

Next week in Reading we will begin Unit 5, Going Places. We will be reading the story Max Takes the Train and discussing different forms of transportation. Students will review the consonants J and W. We will also discuss realism and fantasy.

In Phonics we will be learning our last letter! We will learn about the consonant “Qq” and its sound as in queen, quilt, and quail. There will be no show and tell this week. On Wednesday, we will celebrate the day that the girls have been waiting for all year “Queen Day!” Girls are invited wear “queen dresses” and the boys wait on them all day (crowns will be provided for the queens.) On Friday, we will celebrate the marriage of Q and U. See your child’s folder for additional information.

In math, we will start learning about tangrams. Students will also practice measuring with nonstandard methods.

We have been working on our Science unit, “Animals Two by Two.” Our investigation this week focused on our newest class pets; pill bugs and sow bugs.

On Wednesday, we celebrated "Watery Wednesday" with lots of water experiments. We tried mixing things with water and testing what floats and sinks. It’s was a terrific day even though we had a 2 hour delay!

Kindergarten graduation pictures will be taken on Thursday, April 7th. ALL Students need to wear a white collar shirt!!!!!

We have completed testing for end of the 3rd marking period. Report cards will be sent home on Friday, April 1.
