There will be no school for Kindergarten on Tuesday, April 7th as it is Teddy Bear Picnic Day for next years Kindergarten!!!

This week we will be learning that when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking! For example in the word meat you hear the /e/ sound.  What do you hear in the word soap?  Here's  a link to a song we use in class.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fb3Pdt8kxg   What words can you find that have 2 vowels in them? Continue to review your sight words and practice your letter sounds.  A fun way to work on sounds is to read nonsense words. We've practiced in class so now you can show your parents at home.  Try reading these:  nov, bip, zuk, rup, mif, faj, dol. Write a story with your parents at home.  Show them how well you can write sight words and stretch out harder words! They will be so proud! Remember to use finger spaces!!!   In Math, we are working on the numbers 6 and 7.  How many ways can you show these numbers? What makes 7?  Practice printing and drawing sets at home. We will continue to work on our recycling projects this week. There is no school on Friday or Monday for Easter weekend.  Have a wonderful Easter with your family and friends!! Fingers crossed for some warm spring weather! 

We are having a Scholastic Book Fair this week!  Our class will be attending the fair on Monday and Tuesday.  If you want your child to purchase books, please send the money in a baggie with their name on it.  The book fair will also be open during parent teacher. Report Cards will be sent home on Monday.  Parent Teacher appointment times will be attached.  Please remember to sign and return the envelopes so they can be re-used in June! In Math, we are working on numbers 6 to 10.  We will be covering the concepts of before/after, more/fewer, number order, counting forward and back, making sets, showing the numbers in different ways (ie. 4 and 2 make 6) and printing numbers. We talked about the H Brothers last week. I attached a video in weblinks that we used in class.  March sight words have wh, sh and th.  What other words can you find that have these sounds? We are talking about the 3R's in You and Your World.  They are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.  This week, we will learn what kinds of things we can recycle and we will get in small groups with Mrs. O'Toole's class to begin working on our projects.  If you have any pictures of yourself recycling send them to me! Library is Thursday.  There is no school Friday due to parent teacher. Have a great week and hope for sunshine!!!
