Dear Families,

It has been a great week in kindergarten! We are working hard and having fun! We had a visit from the PRINCIPAL FOR THE DAY - Principal Peterson!  She corrected our work, played a game with us, and even listened to us read! We loved having her in our room!!

ELA SKILLS

This was a review week in skills.  We practiced reading and writing words with double consonant letters like small, add, mitt, chick, buzz and toss. We also worked hard on recognizing and spelling all of our tricky words.  Here is a picture of the game we played each morning this week.  Be sure to ask your child to read these words for you.

 ELA KNOWLEDGE

The story this week was Chickens Aren't the Only Ones.  It is a nonfiction story about all the oviparous animals- animals that lay eggs.  Ask your kindergartner to tell you about an oviparous animal.  

We were so excited about adopting an oviparous animal!! We filled out a certificate about our peep, we took good care of our peep all day long - we even took them out for a little walk to the office!  Be sure to ask your child about their peep!!

Here is a link to the video of our story for you to enjoy!

MATH

In math, we are working on the concept that a teen number is 10 and some more.  We have used double ten frames to explore and work on this idea.  The students would also look at two double tens frame cards and determine which card is more and which is less.
