Mid-Winter Break is Friday, February 15^th thru Monday, February 18^th.

Please work on Math Workbook pages in their Succeed Eureka Math Books.  Students may keep these work books at home as they are already topics discussed in class and are extra practice.

With Common Core Mathematics, kindergartners learn about (1) representing, relating, and operating on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; and (2) describing shapes and space. More learning time in Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics.

This set includes all of the Grade K modules:
Module 1: Numbers to 10
Module 2: Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Shapes
Module 3: Comparison with Length, Weight, and Numbers to 10

Please also work on their reading bag books and spelling words that have already been introduced.(-at family, -an family and –et family words)!!!The next pages have some great Language Arts websites for even more fun!!!

Have a wonderful break and see you on Tuesday, February 19^th!!!

Thank you for all your support,

Ms. Wentland
