Week of Feb 28- March 4

What a fun busy week we have had in kindergarten! Celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday sure was fun. Thanks to all the parents who volunteered to come in and read. This will make great memories for your kiddos!

Reading - This week we learned two new Animated Alphabet characters: Joy's Noisy Toy and the White Whistling Whale. With only 3 more characters to go we are nearing the end and would like to celebrate with an Animated Alphabet party and parade. A bright orange note will be in the backpacks today! This is coming March 30th!
We also had a great time this week reading Dr. Seuss, rhyming words and eating Green Eggs and Ham. After graphing the results, it turns out that their are only 2 kindergartners who do not like Green Eggs and Ham! Mrs. Minor must be a great cook!
Students also really enjoyed sharing their favorite book during show and tell time this week. Thanks for helping them pick out such good books.

Math - In math this week we started a new unit on money, time and measurement. We are really focusing on coin identification and counting my 5s and 10s. Please pull out some real coins at home for your child to work with and practice counting.
Today we also started learning how to tell time. We looked at all the parts of the clock, digital and analog. This will be something we will be working on the next week or so, so please help your child start being aware of time and how to read the clock!

Next Week...

DON'T FORGET THE MUSIC PROGRAM THURSDAY! It starts at 6:30 and students need to be here early. A note will come home Monday from the music teacher.

Also, I will be gone Tuesday for a Math training at the ESDC.
