Happenings Week of April 12 – 16th, 2010
Please review and return your child’s report cards by Friday, April 16th. If you have any concerns, please contact me so we can review it in more detail.
We will be moving into our next chapter on addition. You can practice addition at home by having your child add two groups of objects. For example, you may have 5 pieces of cereal plus 2 more pieces of cereal and have your child count and tell how many in all. After addition, we will be moving on to subtraction which will end the kindergarten math curriculum for this year.
In phonics, this week we will be covering the long sound in all of our vowels. Friday we will resume show and tell, please send in any object that has a long vowel sound in its name.
In reading, we are going on to the story Abeula, which means grandmother in Spanish. This story is about a girl who goes on an imaginary adventure with her grandmother visiting all the places in a city. Our focus skill will be to review the setting of a story.
Next week we will be enjoying a long distance learning program about the senses. Be sure to ask your child about this. We will be having this program on Thursday afternoon.
Next Monday will be day 3 of our six day cycle. Our special class will be music.
Have a relaxing weekend!
