There is no school for students on Friday, February 15th and Monday, February 18th. Enjoy the long weekend with your child!
Next week in Phonics we will be learning about the consonant Yy and its sound as in yarn, yo yo, and yogurt. Word List 11 will be tested next week however the list will not be sent home prior to the test. At this point in Kindergarten students should be able to read the words without practice. There will be no Show and Tell for the letter Yy.
In Reading, we’ll continue with Unit 4 and read “My Lucky Day.” When a delicious-looking piglet knocks on Mr. Fox's door "accidentally," the fox can hardly believe his good luck. It's not every day that dinner just shows up on your doorstep! It must be his lucky day! Or is it? Before Mr. Fox can say grace, the piglet has manipulated him into giving him a fabulously tasty meal, a bath, a massage, and . . . freedom. We will be discussing surprises. Students will learn about cause and effect. Please be sure to review your Family Times when it comes home next week.
In Math we’ll learn a new pattern, ABC. We’ll act out “some, some more” and “some, some went away” stories. Students will also solve problems by “guessing and checking.”
This week we finished up some of activities that we didn’t get to finish on the 100Th day. The collections of 100 items will be sent home next week. We’re still working on sharing our collections and also our 100th day homework.
