What We Did During Our Week:

 

This week we learned about the letters C and X! We continue to talk about the parts of a book and what a character is. We introduced labeling this week. Most of kindergarten writing right now consists of drawing their story, rather than writing a story. However, we talked about how important it is to label our pictures that way the reader knows what they are drawing! We encourage inventive spelling right now – as long as they are making an attempt to write some letters/words that is all we are asking for. 🙂

See pictures below!

For math we started talking about how to break numbers up within 5. We practice saying sentences, like, “4 and 1 make 5”, etc. At the end of next week we have a math test!

Other:

As you have probably noticed, the little playground has been under construction – we will hopefully be getting some new equipment, but we do not know how long this construction will be. The back playground has also been under construction – new swings have been installed. 🙂

Monday is picture day! Kindergarten will be getting their pictures taken 1st thing in the morning, so please send your child in their picture day outfit, we will not have time for them to change first. A form came home in your child’s folder tonight if you wish to purchase their picture. Please fill out, enclose the allotted amount of money and return in their green folder on Monday. Thank you!

Tuesday is our kindergarten parent meeting! This will be in the media center:
