Happy New Year!
I hope you thoroughly enjoyed the winter break with your family! Here is what you need to know for the upcoming week in our classroom;
Welcome Betty Bunny to Room 114!
This is one of our favorite characters, named Betty Bunny. She is quite a “handful!” Ask your child about if being a handful is a good thing or not? Betty Bunny will be visiting your house sometime soon. Please take good care of Betty and make sure she is returned the next school day along with the book and completed journal. Enjoy!
Weekly Homework: Since the ABC books are all complete, your child will receive two activity sheets in their red folder every Monday and will need have both completed by Friday. This week’s focus will be on the “long a” sound. Thank you for supporting your child’s learning at home. This not only helps with practicing literacy skills but teaching responsibility and time management as well.
Words of the Week: our play
Assessments: We are planning on taking the NWEA Reading test on Tuesday, January 9th. I will be administering individual assessments during Daily 5 this week and therefore will not be seeing reading groups. During this time, Raz-kids is a great way for your child to continue practicing reading or listening to books at their level.
Science: We will be introducing our new Weather unit on Wednesday.
Social Studies: We will start our History unit this week. A timeline project will be sent home on Wednesday, January 10 and will be due on Thursday, January 25th. This project will be modeled at school so your child will be able to show you what needs to be done. This kindergarten project is always a favorite!
Field Trip Update: We have rescheduled our Kroger/Lifetime field trip for Wednesday, January 24th. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please email me or leave a comment below. Fingers crossed for good traveling weather.
Monday: Return Nightly Literacy Homework! Wear gym shoes and clothes appropriate for art.
Tuesday: Return library books. NWEA Reading Testing. Music with Mrs. Baloga.
Wednesday: We will have our Leader in Me First Class at 9:15 a.m. Introduction to our Weather unit in science! Timeline project will be sent home today. We will check out a new library book today.
Thursday: We will have music today.
Friday: “Long A” homework is due! Wear gym shoes and be prepared for the computer lab.
That is all for now!
