May 7th Update!



Hello Families! It’s hard to believe that our Kindergarteners will soon be on their way to First Grade! We have so many fun activities planned for the end of the year. The field trip is scheduled for May 21st. Please remember that each chaperone attending needs to fill out a Chaperone Letter of Understanding form. We will go rain or shine! Our end of the year picnic will also be a lot of fun. More information will come home about that in the near future. 

The students are doing wonderfully in class. In Math, we have been working on tally marks, story problems and addition/subtraction problems.  During the next two weeks, we will be focusing on base ten blocks and different ways to make ten. The homework packet that I sent home on Monday is full of great Math activities. Please make sure to help your child complete the packet by 5/13. 

In Writing, we will begin writing creative stories. You can help  your child at home by brainstorming ideas for a short story. In Reading, we are working on fluency. They have been given many new "mini-books" for their reading bags. Sight word practice is still extremely important so keep practicing!

 Looking for more ways to help your child at home?  Here are some great educational songs that we have been doing in class. Watch and sing them at home! 




Also, don’t forget that abcya.com and starfall.com have some great reading and math activities. 

Thank you for all you do!
