Dear Kindergarten families,

The season of Spring is here! We will be learning about new life, how things grow and change in this season of Lent as well as Spring.

Annually, our school participates in a Speech Contest. Kindergarten and First Grade are considered as category 1. The requirements are:

To commit to memory a published poem selection with 4-12 lines. A small prop or one costume item is allowed. click for more info: Speech_Contest_2017

All students must have a poem to recite in class. Help your child choose a poem and practice with them.  So we don’t duplicate each other’s poem, please send in a copy or email it to me. If you are having trouble finding a poem -please let me know. I can help!

Our academic week:

Religion continues with Jesus’ last days during Lent. Trying to be as Jesus taught with His examples of love and kindness to everyone.  Praying the Lord’s Prayer daily.

Math-Skip counting by 5s and starting practice by 2s; measurement – using standard and non-standard units of measure. Practice counting money and making exchanges and number formation practice.
