Kindergarten News for the Week of March 7, 2016



This week, March 7-11, is “Newspaper in Education Week”.  We are promoting reading and encouraging you and your child to read the newspaper together for at least 10 minutes each night.  Your child is bringing home a form that should be completed and returned on Monday, March 14.  Also, be on the lookout for my ad in the classifieds.  Whoever brings it to me and completes the instructions will get a treat!

The PTO is holding a Chinese Auction again this year as a fundraiser.  Each class is doing a themed basket.  Our basket theme is “Crayola”.  We are asking that parents send in an item or items to contribute to our class basket.  Please send anything that is part of the “Crayola” brand.  This includes crayons, markers, colored pencils, Color Wonder, sketch pads, paint, clay, etc.  In order to stick with the theme of our basket, please do not send in items unless they specifically say “Crayola” on them.  Please send in your item before April 1, 2016.  Thank you in advance for your donation!  The classroom from each grade whose basket has the most tickets at the end of the auction will receive an ice cream party!!
Don’t forget to do a quick review of your child’s sight words every night.  Remember, students must learn all 96 Kindergarten sight words by the end of the year!

This week we will be focusing on the letter Ee as in egg.  Show and Tell for the letter Ee will be on Friday, March 11.

Our new Reading story is called “If You Could Go to Antarctica”.  We will discuss what it would be like to have an Antarctic adventure.  We will also learn about classifying and categorizing.

In Math we will be learning about subtraction.

Our specials schedule for the week is:
Monday –Day 6 - Art
Tuesday – Day 7 – Gym (Don’t forget your sneakers!)
Wednesday – Day 8 – Music
Thursday – Day 9 – Computers
Friday – Day 10 – Library (Remember your book!)

Please let me know if you or your child needs anything.  Have an excellent weekend!
