Dear Kindergarten Families,

Happy Monday! Today we are off on our field trip to Underwood Farms. Our class will attend the animal show, take a wagon ride, and pick produce in the field. Should be fun and a good review of Social Studies: farm products to market; Science: growth and needs of plants and animals.

What else is happening this week?

Sports Free Dress on Wednesday, May 23–NO Donation will be collected

No school on Friday-beginning of a 4-day Memorial Day weekend.

Water sales –$1.00 for a bottle of water –available  to buy on Tuesday and Thursday.

Our Academic week:

Religion – We are praying Hail Mary, Lord’s Prayer, and Glory Be each day to become familiar praying the rosary. Religion text, chapter 23, ‘Air is Good’ will be introduced this week.  We will reflect on the Holy Spirit. The gift of air from God is an invisible reality. The reality of the Holy Spirit is explained as help from God that guides us to live as good stewards to others and the earth.

Language Arts-phonics short vowel /e/,  word families ‘et’ and ‘en’, writing sentences with descriptive words. And our best printing always! Practicing reading CVC words, noting each sound beginning-vowel-ending.  Reading and noting important details in stories: looking closely at characters, setting, problem and solution.

Continuing with addition in math this week. Vocabulary: sum, addends, plus sign, and equal sign. In groups we will use coins and objects to count — a practice good number formation and number sentences. Use coins at home to reinforce counting pennies, nickels, and dimes.

Social Studies-finish up our Patriotic Symbols book, science lab this Wednesday.

You may have noticed on our school calendar, we deleted the Kindergarten Promotion on June 20.  Kindergarten students will be on campus to enjoy all the final events this school year. There are many exciting days the last week of school June 18 -22.

If you have any questions or concerns-please feel free to send me an email.

Have a great week,

Mrs. Carol Brown
