Dear Families,

Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weekend.   Here  is what you need to know for this week:

• Letter book: We are studying the “th” digraph. The “th” can be found anywhere in the word.
• Spelling Words;  dot  hot  not  got

Monday:  Letter books will be sent home today.  Spelling tests will be sent home.  On today’s test, the cold word was “cop” if your child spelled it with a “k” it will still be marked correct since they heard the correct sound.

Wednesday:  Science Fair Boot Camp display boards need to be returned today.  We will go to music today.

Thursday:  Today is  Science Fair Boot Camp!  Come back to school at 6:30 p.m.  You won’t want to miss it!

Letter books are due!  We will go to gym and the computer lab.

Reading Groups:  I will not see reading groups again this week.  Trust me, we are doing lots of reading and writing in class. However, it is a surprise!!!

Also, we will be taking the NWEA test this week too.

Dear Family Members,

At Lindbergh we have a long traditional of something called Publishing Center.  Each year every Lindbergh student publishes their own book.  All of these published books are displayed in the Media Center for the school to view.  The kindergarten published books will be on displayed during Muffins for Moms on Friday, May 8th.  However, we need your help soon!!!  Next Wednesday, May 29, we will be having a Publishing Book meeting after drop off time, 8:45 a.m. down in the cafeteria.  Here is where we hope to set up an assembly line and get the books completed.  If you are interested in helping us, please let me know by leaving a comment below.

Hope you can make it!

Dear Families,

Here is what you need to know for this upcoming week:

• Letter Books:  all the letters have been assigned and should have been completed by this point.  Since we have at least 7 more weeks and extra pages in our letter book, we will be studying the digraph “ch” this week.  Even though they are two letters, it makes one distinct sound.  Your child needs to find 5 pictures that have the “ch” digraph.  It may be placed anywhere in the word.  Examples are:  chips,  March or orchard.  Please make sure your child writes down all the sounds they hear in the word and circle the “ch” digraph in the word, noticing where it is placed in the word.
• Spelling words this week:  fit  bit  hit  sit
• Please make sure that your child returns their Spelling Notebook on Monday.  Each week several students seem to forget their spelling notebooks at home.  Our Spelling Helpers are here to help us on Mondays.  It really puts your child at a disadvantage if they are not prepared.  Thanks for your support.

Monday:  Letter books are sent home.  Your child will take their spelling test. Please have your child return their library books if they have one.  We never made it up to the Media Center last week to check out new books. Wear gym shoes

Tuesday:  We will be rehearsing for our music concert.  We will be going up the Media Center.  We will go to Art.  Our kindergartners will start today on our District Writing Prompt.

Wednesday:  We will be rehearsing for our music concert.  We will continue on with our writing prompt.

Thursday:  We will continue on with our writing prompt.  No Mad Science.  Kindergarten concert begins promptly at 6:30 p.m.  Please report to our classroom at 6:20 p.m.  We will line up your child in concert order while you may find a seat in the auditorium.

Friday:  Return letterbooks. We will be completely our writing prompt.  Bingo for Books at 6:30 p.m.

Important Future Dates:

• Wednesday, May 6th  Science Display boards are due today!
• Thursday, May 7th  Lindbergh’s Science Fair Boot Camp from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
• Friday, May 8th  Muffins for Moms at 9:00 a.m.  If your child’s mom cannot attend, please pass along the invitation to a grandma, aunt or family friend.  It is really important that every child has someone come.  Invitations will be sent home this week.
• Friday, June 5th  Donuts for Dads at 9:00 a.m. If your child’s dad cannot attend, please pass along the invitation to a grandpa, uncle or family friend.  It is really important that every child has someone come.  Formal invitations will be sent home soon.

Bridget’s Growth Update:

Here is what Bridget looks like now:

Have a great week!  See you at the concert or before.

Ms. Wright

Hello Families,

I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous day!  Here is a picture of Bridget the alligator.  She is enjoying being at Ms. Wright’s house for the weekend, although it was a tricky drive home. 🙂 Take a look!

Ask your child how long is Bridget now?  She started at 2 1/2 inches.  How much has she grown?

Hopefully you are enjoying having the alligators at your house.  My own sons want to do the experiment too!!

Have fun!

Ms. Wright

Hi Families,

We were excited to see that Bridget had grown since yesterday.  Here take a look!

Our alligator Bridget is now 3 inches long and definitely wider!  Today your child will be taking home their experiment and science display board.  If possible, start as soon as you can.  Have your child decide on the “mystery liquid” (the variable.)

Your child should also start the “Growing Alligator Planning Guide Sheet.”  Have your child come up with their Big Question.”  Your child may write the question on the planning sheet or you may write it down depending on your child’s level.  But make sure it is their question.  We did an example in class today.  Take a look!

The “I Think Statement” is your child’s hypothesis.  What do they think will happen and why?

Your child will also be taking home their science display board.  Complete directions are in the packet.  The boards are due Wednesday, May 6th.  Today in class, I showed them some examples of the completed boards from last year and we talked about each one.  If possible, take lots of pictures of the alligators during the experiment.  Here are a couple of examples from last year.

Thank you so much for the support you give your child’s learning!

Have a great weekend!
