Kindergarten Happenings Week of April 5 – 9, 2010

This week we will finish up Chapter 10 in math. Our next chapter will be on addition.
In reading, we will be reading a story called “If You Could Go to Antarctica”. This an informational story to teach the children about this cold place. Our focus skill is classifying and categorizing.
In phonics, we will be learning the letter q and its sound as in queen. We will be learning that q is always written with the letter u and we may even attend a “wedding” of the letters as a fun way to help us remember the two letters being together. On Wednesday, April 7 we will have “Queen for a Day”. The girls of the class may wear a dress and crown for the day if they wish. The boys will have to make a special effort to treat all the girls royally for this day. There will not be show and tell this week.
Report card testing is completed and report cards will be sent home on Friday, April 9. Please review the report card and sign and return it the following week. A copy of the results of the third quarter test will also be sent home for you to review. Most children have done a fantastic job and are showing all signs of readiness for first grade.
Monday, April 5 will be day 4 of our 6 day cycle. Our special class will be art.
I wish all of you a very Happy Easter. Enjoy the beautiful weather!
