April 8th - 12th

I hope everyone is ready for another great week in Kindergarten!! Homework calendars for April will be sent home this week. Please encourage your child to read the two homework books to as many people as possible. This helps improve fluency. We are going to finish up our recycling projects and share them this week. They look great so far! We will be drawing a picture, doing some writing and making a craft to send to Mrs. Ray's class in North Carolina. In Math, we are working on the numbers 6 and 7 this week. How many different ways can you show these numbers?
