Hope everyone is enjoying this rainy day!☂☂ I enjoyed meeting with everyone last week for conferences! It is fun to celebrate how far your children have come in the short months they have been here. Thanks for all the support your families give to your children and to our school.
Notes:
*March 31st is the last day to get the early registration discount! As well, after the 31st registration it is open to the public. Our classes are filling quicker this year, so make sure you register early=)
*Next week is Spirit week! A little fun right before we go to Spring Break! Flyers should have been in folders. If you missed it somehow, tomorrow will be mismatch day!
*Next week is also the last week to turn in our canned food! This was our focus for missions month and showing students that they can be missionaries even in their own neighborhood. We will be doing a writing about this next week, and 3 students from our class will be picked to go to the food bank to drop off the food after Spring Break. Let's fill our bucket!
*Talking about donations we also have our auction "cooler" ready to be filled! It is camping themed=)
Next week in reading we will continue to work on substituting sounds. This is an easy activity to do in the car with your kiddos. You can say "what word would I have if I took pig and took away the /p/ sound and added the /r/ sound." a little practice goes along way, and it is helping students hear the difference between sounds. We will also be focusing on the parts of a book and nouns. So as you read stories each night ask who the characters are, what the setting is, and what happened first, second, and last.
In writing, we have started our fiction stories. I am so impressed on how well they are catching on to this! It has been fun watching them create their own stories. This unit goes well with what we are learning in reading, the parts of a story. Helps create connections to what they are doing and why=)
In math, addition and subtraction is still our main focus, though we continue in our other chapters about shapes, and putting numbers together. After Spring break, we will begin our addition and subtraction tests. I know sounds crazy for kinders, but don't worry there are 6 problems in 1 minute and only includes number 5 and under. Children will get to go at their own pace as well, so if they have to do +1 a few times, no worries! I do this to give them more practice and one standard for kindergarten is that they are fluent in addition and subtraction up to 5. These are just small building blocks that will help them later in their schooling=)
Next week in Bible we will be learning about The Good Samaritan. Our focus will be on that we should show compassion to ALL people. This is a good connection to our canned food drive as well. I love when things fit together!
Have a great rest of your today! See everyone tomorrow!
