What We Are Learning
Reading: This week we continued to practice two
comprehension strategies. Ask your child
about the strategies Stop & Check for Understanding and Five Finger
Retelling.
Alphabet:
In alphabet this week, we looked at the _og word family (examples: frog, hog,
log, etc.). We also learned about the blends pr and tr.
Writing:
This week we continued our opinion writing unit. Instead of writing about
things we like, we started writing about things we don’t like. Ask your child
what they chose to write about!
Math:
This week we started a new unit on measurement. In kindergarten, we measure
items using non-standard units of measurement (example: cubes, sticks, or
paperclips). This week we focused on measuring length. We worked on describing what we measured using
the words shortest, longest, shorter, and longer. Ask your child how long their
foot is!
Theme:
During theme this week, we learned about animals. We focused on animal
coverings, how they move, and their habitat. Ask your child what animal he/she
researched.
Read! Read! Read!
Can you believe that kindergarten is almost over?
That means that end of the year reading assessments are just right around the
corner. Willard has very high reading
expectations. Please make time to read
with your child nightly. Thank you all for your support!
Spring Wonder Table
Keep an eye out for signs of spring that we can
observe on our wonder table. Insects and plants are welcome!
Popcorn Words
Please practice reading, writing, and spelling our
