Kindergarten News for the Week of May 13, 2019



Countdown to Summer: 15.5 days!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our wonderful Moms!  Check your child’s folder today for something special!

Graduation sign out papers are due on Monday, May 13.  Thank you to everyone who already turned them in!

The Scholastic Book Fair will be held all next week.  Family night will be on Monday, May 13 from 4-7pm.  Our day to shop in school is Wednesday, May 15 during Guidance class.  If you would like your child to purchase books, please send book fair money to school in a labeled envelope by Wednesday, May 15.

On Friday, May 17, we will be performing a wedding.  The ceremony will join two letters that will be making a new sound together:  Q and U!  That day is also a dress down day, but Kindergarteners are welcome to dress UP!  If you would like, you can dress your child like they are going to a wedding. Remember, this is just for fun to learn the “qu” sound.  Please don’t go to extremes to find or buy anything.  The wedding will be followed by dancing, so please send your child in comfortable shoes.  Thank you!

This week we will be reviewing the long and short Ee sounds as in eagle and exit.  Our new Reading story is called “Building Beavers.”  We will discuss how beavers build their homes.  We will also learn how to find the main idea of a story. 

In Math, we are working on Unit 8: Coins and Financial Literacy.  Our essential questions are: “Why do we have money?” 
and “What is money used for?”

Our specials schedule for the week is:
Monday –Day 5 – Computers
Tuesday – Day 6 – Art
Wednesday – Day 7 – Guidance (Book Fair Shopping)
Thursday – Day 8 – P.E. (Remember your sneakers!)

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Have a fabulous weekend!
