Yeah! Spring Break if finally hear! Since I know you are all anxious to get your vacations started I will start with the important announcements first...
- We need snacks!
- Animated Alphabet Character Party and Parade Wednesday, March 30.
- There will be no more show and tell after Spring Break.
- There will be no school April 21 and 22 due to Kindergarten Round-Up.
- We will be going on our field trip to the farm Wednesday, April 27. More info to follow!
Animated Alphabet - We learned our last character this week. Keep all those papers and review them on a regular basis. Look for the letters and ask children to identify the characters that go with the letters and sounds. For example, today in class we did a sheet looking for long e sounds, spelled with ee. We referenced this to Leaping Eve as the character that teaches us this sound. This would be great to do when trying to read everyday print, labels, signs, etc. or when trying to sound out easy words in books.
Daily Five - We practiced Read to Someone this week and worked on building our stamina. Keep this up with your child over the break. Make reading a priority in their day!
Math - This week we learned to measure in inches and centimeters with cubes. We also had a lesson which was an extension of the calendar work we do every morning. Lessons were also done using vocabulary like heavy,heavier, heaviest, light, lighter, lightest, taller, shorter, longer. Students took a Unit 6 test today and I will grade those over break and send them home next week so you can see how they did.
Plus lots of St. Patrick's Day activities!
Have a fun, safe Spring Break and keep those kiddos reading. I can't wait to hear the stories next Monday!
