Newsletter-Our Week In Review



September 24, 2015

Dear Families,

We have had another successful week in Kindergarten!  Thank you for all of your help in preparing your children for the day.

This week during  Reading, we have been working on the story, Chrysanthemum. In this story we worked on the skill of making predictions, retelling, character identification, inference, and opinion writing.  Ask your kindergartner what their favorite part in the story was!

This week we have been working on the letters, c, a, d, and g.  We have been able to make their sounds and identify words that start with these letters.  We have also been working on our Star Words, “the & like”.  Please be sure to practice these words with your child.  Just as a reminder, I will be testing students on Tuesdays and Thursday if they return their sheets.

During Math we have been working on shape identification.  We have talked about rectangles, squares, hexagons, and circles.  We were able to make these shapes using geoboards.  We also played Simon Says using the words above, below, next to, beside, in front of, and behind.  Today we also started looking at 3D shapes- cube, sphere, cone, and cylinder.  It was fun to search the classroom for them!

Reminders:
 * Continue to send a healthy snack with your child- no cookies, chips, or candy.
 *Turn in your child's permission slip and payment for our field trip to the pumpkin farm!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us!

Take care,
The Kindergarten Teachers

Newsletter-Our Week In Review

September 17, 2015

Dear Families,

We have had another successful week in Kindergarten!  Thank you for all of your help in preparing your children for the day.

This week during  Reading, we have been working on the story, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. In this story we worked on the skill of making predictions, retelling, character identification, inference, and opinion writing.  Ask your kindergartner what their favorite part in the story was!  

This week we have been working on the letters, h, n, m, r, l, and i.  We have been able to make their sounds and identify words that start with these letters.  We have also been working on our Star Words, “we & today”.  Please be sure to practice these words with your child.  Just as a reminder, I will be testing students on Tuesdays and Thursday if they return their sheets.

During Math we have been working on number identification 1-5.  We practiced this by playing a bingo game.  The kiddos loved it!  We also started looking closely at the shapes circle, square, rectangle, and triangle.  Students needed to identify objects in the classroom that were that shape.  We also sorted shapes that were curved and non curved.  

Reminders:
* Continue to send a healthy snack with your child- no cookies, chips, or candy.


If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us!
