Kindergarten Happenings for the week of January 23 – 27, 2012

Next week in phonics we will be covering the letter z as in Zebra. For show and tell next week, I am asking each child to bring in a picture or small stuffed animal that could be found in a zoo. Some examples could be lions, tigers, elephants, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, polar bears, turtles, snakes, etc… We will have show and tell on Thursday and Friday as usual. The children did a great job on the state reports for the letter U. I would like to thank you for preparing your child for this.
In math, we are continuing to count by 10s, use dimes, and identify the smallest and largest numbers in a group. The 100th day is fast approaching also. We will be celebrating that with all kinds of “100” activities. Next week you will be receiving a letter with more information about the 100th day of school.
In reading, we read the story “Seeds” this week and we will be reading and discussing the story “Hyde, Clyde” next week. The story is about a chameleon that has trouble changing his colors. The focus skill is main idea.
