Kindergarten News for the Week of January 28, 2019



In just a few more school days your child will be celebrating his/her 100th day of school in Kindergarten.  Can you believe it?  The time has really gone by fast!  We are planning a special day with lots of “100” activities and we need your help.  The 100th day will be Thursday, January 31, if we have no snow days before that day.  We would like your child to dress as if he/she were 100 years old.  You want your child to appear older so you may want to use props such as canes, walkers, glasses, old-fashioned jewelry, wigs, hair sprays, etc…  One quick way to look older is to put baby powder in the hair.  Don’t be afraid to use your imagination!  Thank you for your help!

Report cards will be sent home on Tuesday, January 29.  You may keep the report card, but please sign and return the envelope that it comes in. 

This week we will be learning about the letter Hh as in hot.  Show and Tell for the letter Hh will be on Friday, February 1.  Please send in 1 or 2 items that begin with the letter Hh.

Our Reading story this week is “Rooster’s Off to See the World”.  We will discuss what we can learn from our adventures.  This week’s comprehension strategy is sequence.

In Math, we will begin to learn about joining objects.

Our specials schedule for the week is:
Monday – Day 1 – Art
Tuesday – Day 2 – Library (Remember your book!)
Wednesday – Day 3 – Gym (Don’t forget your sneakers!)
Thursday – Day 4 – Music
Friday – Day 5 – Computers

Please let me know if you or your child needs anything.  Have an outstanding week!

Welcome back!  I hope you all had a fun-filled holiday break!

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!

Cold season is in full force and we are in desperate need of tissues for our classroom.  If you are willing to donate a box it would be GREATLY appreciated.  Also, if your child has a runny nose, it may be a good idea to send in an individual pack of tissues for him/her so we can cut down on the spread of germs.  Thank you!

Scholastic Book Orders are due on Friday, January 11.

This week we will be focusing on the letter Dd as in dinosaur.  Instead of Show and Tell this week, your child will get to teach the class about a dinosaur.  This is a very exciting project for our Kindergarteners!  Students will present their projects on Friday, January 11.   Please check your child’s folder for more information.  Thank you in advance for your assistance with this project! 

Our new Reading story is called “Farfallina and Marcel”.  We will discuss what happens when animals change.  Our comprehension strategy this week will be plot.
