Kindergarten News for the week of December 6th – 10th

In Phonics this week we will study the consonant Ff as in fish. We will have show 'n tell on Friday! Your child has studied the letters: Ll, Oo, Gg, Hh, Tt, Pp, Aa, Nn, Mm, Ii and Ss. S/he should recognize these letters and their sounds (short and long sounds for vowels). The new word list ( 5) will be coming home today and will be tested on Friday.
In Reading we will be starting the story, “A Bed for the Winter”. It is a story about a mouse that is in search of a bed for the winter. Our focus skill is to identify the sequence of the story. We will also review the high frequency words I, my, have, a, is, we, for, like, little, and he.
In Math we will solve a problem by acting it out or drawing a picture. We will practice paying for items up to 10 cents with pennies. We will copy patterns and identify an AB pattern. On our December calendar students are learning to identify the shape-trapezoid!
