March 9th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello Everyone, there is only one more week left before the break! This will be the last newsletter until we return in April.
This week on Monday we started learning about “diggers” in printing. These are letters that hang down below the line such as j or g. We continued learning about syllables, and made beautiful spring blossom trees in art. The weather continues to be cold!
Tuesday, we practiced counting and writing numbers by going on a mitten hunt around the room! We also started learning about alliteration in our Oral Language groups. The kids practiced isolating the beginning sound in words. Later the class went to Music, and it was a sunny afternoon outside.
On Wednesday we had fun doing literacy stations that focused on syllables and the beginning sound in words. These skills help teach your child how words are made up of different sounds. We also went to our Whole School Meeting and Levi and Anna presented their mitten art to the school. After we had our daily reading practice, the children went to the library to sign out a new book. Please be sure to send back any books you have before the break. The afternoon was sunny and the class enjoyed some outside time.
Thursday we played a number game to help reinforce the understanding of higher or lower numbers. We also wrote in our journals and went to music. As always, the kids helped clean up the classroom for the weekend and finished the day off outside.
We will be on the letter ‘T’ for Show and Tell next week.
