What We Are Learning
Reading: This week we dove deeper into character
traits. We read the book The Three
Little Pigs and compared and contrasted the characters in the story. Ask your
child about being observed by the other kindergarten teachers!
Alphabet:
In alphabet this week, we looked at the _op word family (examples: hop, mop,
top, etc.). We practiced “spelling” these words with our bodies. We also learned about the blends gr and pl.
Writing: This week we continued our opinion writing
unit. This week we worked on starting our writing pieces with the following
topic sentence: My favorite____ is ____. We also worked on using 3 details to
support our opinion.
Math:
We continued reviewing the teen numbers 16-19. We worked on breaking these
numbers apart, representing them as an equation (example: 10+3=13), and making
them using a tens frame.
Theme:
During theme this week, we learned about spring. We went on a nature walk to find evidence
that spring has arrived. We also wrote a spring acrostic poem.
Wonder Table
Now
that spring has finally arrived, I would love to update our wonder table. Keep an eye out for spring time items that we
can observe. Your child is invited to bring in budding flowers, interesting
plants, and yes…even insects (no spiders please)! All I am asking is that you
make sure all insects are in a secure container. We will observe them and then release them
outside. Keep your eyes open for signs
of spring!
Summer School
Summer
school registration forms came home in your child’s take home folder this week. These forms need to be returned no later than
May1st. I encourage everyone to attend
summer school. Even if your child is doing well academically, summer break is
very long. Most students lose some of
the progress they made during the school year.
Keep that in mind while making
your summer plans.
