Dear Parents and Friends,
This week is finally going to be a VERY busy week. It looks like the weather will be warming up however, please continue to send outside gear. You may leave the snow pants at home…Unless your child would like them for warmth, We will continue with our theme Safe & Sound. This week we will focus on people that help keep our community safe. We will also be learning different ways that we can be safe when we are playing in our community. We have two field trips out in our community this week! On Thursday morning we will be taking a bus to the high school to watch some of the high schools rehearse songs for their upcoming musical...Mama Mia! (Full length shows will be held this weekend at the high school). We will be leaving the school at 8:30am so PLEASE make sure your child is on time. We would hate for them to come late and have to sit in the office until we get back. On Friday afternoon we will be taking a bus to Kurn Hattin to see their musical "Summer Camp". We will be out of the school from 12:30-2:25. In Math we are continuing to work on our subtraction and additional strategies. Most of the math work we do is hands on while we working on recording our equations and numbers. This week we will also be learning different ways and combinations to show numbers. In KinderRoots, our new book is The Jumping Sack. This new book will go home tomorrow since we want to review Where is Pit-Pat before moving on. We will be focusing on the letter k with our new book. We keep saying that the books are getting harder and harder and we are not lying! It is very important to practice reading each night. At the end of the week we pull each kid to assess how well they are doing in reading. We check letter names and sounds, sounding out words and finally have them read one sentence. We are starting our new Informational unit in writing this week. We call these books “How-To” books. We ask the kids to think about things they already know how to do. They don’t realize all the things they already know how to do. This unit is always so much fun! Once they realize all the things they CAN do it’s interesting to see what the children think they are experts in :) Runners club will continue this Wednesday for our kindergarteners. It is very helpful if the runners have sneakers so please don’t forget sneakers on Wednesday if your child is signed up for runners club. Also, you may sign up to be in runners club even if you cannot sign up for the 5K. Pickup time is 3:20pm in the gym- There is no cost for being in runner’s club! Have a Great Week! Amy and Ashley
