Hello! I hope everyone is well! The kids have really enjoyed learning about habitats.
The students constructed an informational writing piece last week. They also
created their own paper alligators to go along with their writing. They have
been focusing very hard on their specific writing goals and have shown great improvement.
When you write at home don’t forget to let your child write the sounds they
hear (yes, even if it’s not spelled correctly)! Stretching out words is a VERY
important Kindergarten skill. We are also working on writing more than one sentence,
being descriptive, using a capitol at the beginning of a sentence, using end
marks in the correct spot, neatness and making sure our writing makes sense. WOW!
That is a lot for our little ones but they are doing great! I was also
impressed with the quality of information that they were writing. Instead of reading
sentences that say, “I like alligators.” I was reading sentences like, “Alligators
are predators!” Impressive!

Please continue to review letters, sounds, rhyming, numbers
and counting whenever you can! Read as much as you can!
Spring break will be here very soon. The kids will be
bringing home their Mini-Bags full of their sight word books over break. Please
have your child read at least one of these books to you every day. Please
return the bag and the books inside on our first day back to school.
I’ll have information about an Easter egg hunt and
Mini-Society going home soon. Have a
wonderful week!
