Hello Kindergarten Families! Happy 31st week of Kindergarten! Can you believe it is already May? Please help your child login to Clever to access MyOn. Here they have so many online books to choose from for reading. Many of the books are read aloud to them as they follow along! This is a super awesome resource to get your child reading more books. Daily homework is the following: 20 minutes on MobyMax and myOn, work from something in math bag, reading books from reading bag and practicing sight words. We will continue end of the year testing such as NWEA and reading level assessment this week.

Review: they was baby where here New words: read baby mother father
Math: We will learn about place value as we compose and decompose teen numbers. (ex. 16 is one group of 10 and 6 extra ones). We will also take a computation test on addition and subtraction up to 5. Please practice math facts.
Science: We will continue our science explorations. We will explore trees and their parts as well as weather!
Social Studies: We will continue to talk about ways to work with the common good to solve problems in our classroom and in our community.
