Leaping Leprechauns
This week in Language Arts we continued our review of blending and segmenting. We focused on blends found at the end of words. We also practiced the skill of summarizing, using the books, “Three Wishes” and “Clever Tom and the Leprechaun”. Your kindergartner can practice this skill at home after reading with you.
In math we continued to work on adding single and double-digit numbers. The students are using our new sign-in system each morning to practice this skill.
Next week we will start “Mystery Bag” our version of show and tell. Please click on the link to the right for more information.
We have more than enough boxes for our leprechaun traps. Thanks to all of you that sent them to school with your child. We are still in need of Clorox “Green Works” disinfected wipes. If you have not done so already, please send a large container of wipes to school with your kindergartner next week.
Our class is going green. Please dress your child in a green shirt on Thursday, March 17th, for St. Patrick's Day.
Have a Great Weekend!

Oh' The Place We Will Go!
This week in kindergarten we celebrated Dr. Suess’ 83rd Birthday. We read many of his books and we even got a chance to see several of them come to life on film. We also reviewed rhyming words, cvc words, and the /gr/, /pl/, /cr/, /pr/, /sc/, /sk/, /st/, /gl/, and /sn/ blends. We continued practicing writing 2-3 sentences using developmental spelling. Please remind your kindergartner to always put a finger-space between words when they write in their journal at home.
In math, we have been adding single- digit numbers. Some of us have gotten so good at this we have challenged ourselves by adding double-digit numbers too. We learned a new game called, “Top-It Addition”. Ask your kindergartner to teach you how to play this game at home. We continued practicing counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s. Next week we will review geometric shapes.
Ask your kindergartner about the little green leprechaun that is running around our classroom. We are planning to catch him soon. Each kindergartner will need to bring a cardboard shoebox (with a lid) to school with them by Friday, March 11th. If you have an extra box or two we will gladly take it off your hands.
e are in desperate need of more Green Works “Clorox” disinfected wipes. We use these once a week to wipe down our desk and chairs in hopes of keeping germs to a minimum. Please send a large container of wipes to school with your kindergartner as soon as possible . Thanks in advance.
Enjoy Your Weekend!
