Weekly Newsletter January 22-26

 

 Dear Families,

It was a great FULL week in Kindergarten! Look how much fun we have had on the snow hills at recess!

Skills

This week in Skills, we were introduced to a new tricky word - little.  Only the second t and the e are underlined and tricky - because we have not learned these rules, yet.  We continued to drill the lowercase letter names and work on rhyming words.  Please work on both of these at home with us. We also continued to blend, segment, read and write words with consonant clusters in them!! Please help us at home by giving us words to blend and write like plug, slim, fast, tent and snug - we can do it!!  Here is an example of the game we played this week to practice blending and reading words with consonant clusters and our tricky words.

Knowledge

We love learning about Kings and Queens! This week we listened to 3 new stories - The Princess and the Pea, Cinderella, and Snow White. We also added many new vocabulary words to our schema! Here is a peek at what our knowledge wall looks like!

Our new poem this week was My New Friend! The kids loved the actions for this poem - be sure to ask us to sing it for you at home!

Math

In math we focused on sorting 2D shapes in a variety of ways.  We sorted by shape, color, size, straight lines and curved lines, and corners and no corners.  After we sorted the shape cards, we compared the numbers in each group using our vocabulary words of greater than, less than and equal to.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

*If your child would like to pass out Valentines, we have 39 students between our two rooms.  Your child does not need to address each envelope- just make sure that he/she signs his/her name on each valentine.  You can start sending in Valentines on Thursday, February 8th.
