Greetings Kindergarten Families!

THIS WEEK: 

We will be exploring seasons, winter weather and more!     We will read several Jan Brett stories including: The Mitten and The Hat.  Last week we read the Mitten and students acted out the story and practiced retelling skills.  This week we will do a class rewrite of the same story and read a new winter tale.  Students have been reading and writing about winter and their favorite activities to do in this season.

Below is an outline of the concepts that will be taught this week.

Language Arts ·       Final Consonant Sounds ·       Letter Oo ·       Blending and Segmenting ·       Short Oo Word Families: -ot, -op, and -og

Math ·       Counting and Number Games ·       Probability ·       Patterning

Social Studies ·       Winter Science ·       Weather/Seasons

BOX TOPS:

Dike- Newell School with support from the PTA is collecting Box Tops for Education.  Each box top that is collected is worth .10 cents for our school.  Please send them in your child’s folder, and I will collect them each morning.

REMINDER:
