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!
