Kindergarten News for the Week of January 13, 2020

Reading

Our weekly question is “Why do we like poems?”  We will learn about nursery rhymes and poems this week. 

We will be focusing on the letters Zz as in zip, and Qq as in queen.

Math

Our essential question is: “How can numbers from 0-10 be ordered and compared?  We will be comparing sets of objects up to at least 20 in each set using comparative language.

We have been practicing filling in missing numbers up to 10.  This can be a difficult skill for some students to master.  You can practice at home by writing numbers from 0-10 with your child, and counting forward and backward to 10.

Announcements

There will be a Spartan Dress Down Day on Friday, January 17.  Your child can wear a Spartan shirt with jeans/sweatpants if they bring a $1.00.

If your child would like to buy ice cream in the cafeteria during lunch, our day has changed to Wednesday.  Students must have at least $1.00 in their account to buy ice cream on Wednesdays.

It is officially winter!  Please remember to send your child to school in a winter coat, gloves and a hat.  We go outside for recess every day unless it is raining or below 38 degrees. 

Please continue to practice skills for independence, such as tying shoes, zipping coats, buttoning pants, putting on hats and gloves, etc.

Don’t forget to practice sight words with your child every night.

AR reading logs are due on the last day of every month.  Remember, in order to get a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut, your child must read 15 books in a given month.

Scholastic book orders are due on Monday, January 13.  For every family who places an order over $10.00 this month, our class receives 100 extra bonus points to use on new books for our classroom!

Our Encore schedule for this week is:
