Weekly Newsletter- November 15-19th

 

Dear Families,

In Communication Arts, we have been working on the word families -ad and -an, We have also been identifying the Star Words “a” and “on”.  Please continue to practice star words with your child.  We test these throughout the school year.  The story this week was Maddi's Fridge by Lois Brandt  While listening to the story, students were working on the strategies of predicting, retelling, connecting, and identifying feelings of the characters in the story. Ask your kindergartner what their favorite part of the story was!  

In writing, we have been working on telling our own true stories. We will be celebrating our hard work on Friday.  Students are sounding out words, adding spaces, and making sure they have periods to end their sentences.  We also need to remember to have our pictures match our words.  The students are doing a great job!

In math, we are working on counting by 2's.  Please practice counting by 2's to 20 with your kindergartner.  We are also working on being able to identify which number is more and which number is less.

In science, we are learning about all different kinds of weather.  We have learned about sunny, cloudy, and windy days.

Reminders:

The cold weather is here!  Be sure that your child is dressed appropriately for recess.  

Make sure that your child has 2 snacks daily.

Tomorrow is Green Bay Packer Day!  Wear your green and gold!

The Scholastic Book Fair is open during conferences.
