Take a look at what we have been up to in kindergarten this week! Religion We are doing special jobs each day to show our love for Jesus during Lent. Math We are learning about money. We are practicing everyday to learn the names and values of the coins. We have learned rhymes to help us remember. Please practice with your child until they have mastered this. Reading We are working on Units 3 and 4. We are learning about the sounds of t, c, o, f, r and p. We have added the foloowing words to our word wall: we, are, you, have. Please practice at home. We are also learning about real and make-believe, opposites and making predictions. Printing We are working hard on printing the correct formation of the letters using newstime and short poems. Science Our science bag experiments are going well so far! We are excited each week to perform a new experiment with our friends! This week we celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday. We shared Dr. Seuss books from home. We did a book report project with our second grade reading buddies. We also celebrated the 100 days of school on Tuesday! It was a fun day! The PreK and Kindergarten classes are doing a community service project this month. Our classes are purchasing chicks for the poor through the organization "Food for the Poor". Each chick costs $1.25 (20 chicks for $25.00; 100 chicks for $125.00). The gift of a baby chick provides a family not only with a sustainable source of protein from eggs but also with supplemental income from selling eggs. Encourage your child to do an extra chore at home to help raise money for their chick. This would be a wonderful learning experience especially during this lenten season. Please encourage independence in your child: Allow him/her to walk to the classroom alone. Help him/her be responsible for showing you the behavior chart and work papers each night. Encourage your child to dress, zip, button and tie shoes by him/herself. Also, please review classroom rules: 1. Follow directions the first time. 2. Raise your hand to speak. 3. Keep your hands and feet to yourself. 4. Be a good listener. 5. Always do your best. Remember to check your child's behavior chart each night and initial it so that we know you have seen it. Your cooperation at home is appreciated! It will truly help make your child's kindergarten year a successful one!
