January 20-24, 2020


Kindergarten News for the Week of January 20, 2020
Reading
Our weekly question is “Why do we like certain kinds of stories?”  We will learn about different kinds of stories this week.  Our selection is called “The Best Story” by Debbie O’Brien.  Our new vocabulary words are castle, pretend, explorer, and adventure. 

We will be focusing on the sounds that short a (at) and long a (acorn) make.

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 no school for students on Monday, January 20 due to a teacher in-service and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

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.

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.

Our Encore schedule for this week is:
Monday – No School!
Tuesday – Day 1 – P.E. (Remember your sneakers!)
Wednesday –  Day 2 – Library (Don’t forget your books!)
Thursday – Day 3 – Music
Friday – Day 4 – Art

If you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time.  Have a super weekend!
