This week we
will be learning the letter Ee as in elephant. Show and Tell for the letter Ee will be on
Friday, February 28. Please send in one
or two small items that begin with the letter Ee.
Our Reading
story for this week is called “My Lucky Day”.
We will be discussing what kind of adventures you can have on a lucky
day. We will also be learning about
cause and effect.In Math we will finish Topic 7 - Understanding Addition and move on to Topic 8 - Understanding Subtraction.
Read Across
America Day will be held on Friday, February 28! This will be an exciting day as we learn
about Dr. Seuss and read some of his stories.
Students from Bloomsburg University will be teaching a lesson to our
class and we will have a guest reader visit us to read a Dr. Seuss story! If you have any Dr. Seuss books at home, you
are welcome to send them to school with your child on Friday. Please make sure your name is somewhere on
the book so we can return it to you.
Thank you!
Now that we
are halfway through the school year, Kindergarten will be doing something
different with the word lists. Every
other week, your child will be getting an odd numbered (11, 13, 15, etc) word
list in his/her folder. These lists are
for practice only and will not be tested.
The even numbered (12, 14, 16, etc) word lists will be tested every
other week as a “cold read”. You are to
practice the skill of blending with your child on the odd numbered word lists
so they understand that skill to read the even numbered lists. This is to prevent memorization of the words,
and to make sure each child truly understands the blending skill. Thank you for practicing each night with your
child!
Scholastic
Book Orders are in your child’s folder and are due back Friday, February
28. There is a coupon attached to the
order forms for a free book up to $5.00!
You may use that coupon online or send it back with your order. Please
note that you must spend $10.00 in order to get your free book.
The first
annual Spring Fling Chinese Auction will be held on April 12-13. Each class will have a basket in the auction
and the winner in each grade gets a pizza party! Our theme is “Bedtime Stories”. All families who are able are asked to donate
one children’s book for our class basket.
