Kindergarten Newsletter for week of January 17 – 21, 2011

• In phonics, we will be learning about the letter Uu and its short vowel sound as in umbrella. On Friday, we will be having our State presentations. Each student was sent home the name of a state to tell about (3 facts and a picture or two). We will be doing this instead of show and tell.
• In reading, we are starting a new story called “See How We Grow”. Our focus skill will be cause and effect and also practicing the letters Dd and Kk.
• In math, we are continuing to practice using dimes and pennies. We are counting by 10s. We are also continuing to review and work on the AABB patterns.

• There will be no school on Monday, January 17th in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. School will resume on Tuesday, January 18th. Tuesday will be day 3 of our four day cycle. We will have gym class.
