Dear Families,

I hope you are enjoyed this beautiful weekend with your family!  Here is what you need to know for this week in our kindergarten class.

• Monday:   Wear gym shoes for gym!  Today we will also go to Art.  If you would like to purchase books from the book fair, please send in your child’s wish list (which was sent home on Thursday) along with money in a envelope marked “Book Fair.”
• Tuesday:  We will go to Music with Mrs. Baloga today.
•  Wednesday:  Last day to bring in Book Fair money.
• Thursday:  We will go to Music with Mrs. Baloga today.
• Friday:  There is no school for kindergarten today.  Enjoy the long weekend!

Daily 5:  Each morning in our kindergarten class, the students are engaged in a variety of literacy activities.  One important component of Daily 5 is called Read to Self.  Here is the I-chart we made together:

The kindergartners were able to follow the Read to Self expectations for 14 minutes!!!

 

What are we doing in the other subject areas?

Math:  We are working on developing Number Sense, with a special focus of numbers 1-5.

Science:  What is a Scientist?  Learning about our 5 Senses.

Social Studies: We are working on How Do I Get Along with Others?

Writing:  We are working on personal narrative writing during Writer’s Workshop.  The focus is establishing a good writing routine.

Leader in Me:  Habit 1-Be Proactive– This habit means that you are in charge of yourself!

But most importantly, we are working on procedures, procedures, procedures!  In kindergarten, we go slow to go fast!

Until next time…

Ms. Wright

PS  The office wanted me to pass out the information that if you need to write a check, please make it out to Dearborn Public Schools and not Lindbergh Elementary.  Thank you!
