Hello Kindergarten Families!
Monday begins the third trimester…amazing how time flies when your having fun!
Tuesday library books are due back as we changed our library check out day. Library reader time has moved to Tuesday at 1:30.
On Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 we will attend the Stations of the Cross led by the 8th grade students. Please join us if your schedule permits.
Friday is a noon dismissal.
During March extra reading will be happening in class! In addition to our nightly reading (15-20 minutes), we are encouraging a little extra time reading at home. Have your child respond to an extra book on this story map to earn a ticket for a grade level drawing at the end of the month. Send in form any day this week. Click here for story map
March 23 we will take a field trip to the Carnegie Art Museum in Oxnard with our fourth grade buddies. More information and permission slips coming home by the end of this week.
**When out shopping pick up a new box of crayons to finish the school year. A pack of 24 or triangular crayons will be perfect.
Our week:
Forgiveness is our religion focus this week. Each day after lunch we will commit 5 minutes to become closer to Jesus. If you would like to use this audio site at home click this link: Begin with Faith – Give Him 5
ELA – each day we work on consonants and vowels with our word sorts and lower case letter practice of the day. Beginning, vowel and ending sounds need daily practice. Words Their Way has us concentrating on word families. Last week we were working on short /a/ and /i/. After sorting we take a written spelling test for print practice. Writing and Reading Workshops continue as we finish up units on informational writing and super reading powers.
The Math Practice book will be introduced in Everyday Math. This has us putting on paper skills from of our previous hands-on work. Reviewing patterns, measurement, shapes, math stories, and number formation will be part of our math lessons for the week.
Science and social studies finds us using directions and reading maps. Looking at our world, weather and climate and how it effects people and animals.
Blessings,
Mrs. Brown
