Dear Kindergarten Parents,
It was nice meeting all Grandparents on Friday. We really enjoyed having them help us learn. Thanks to all grandparents of Sacred Heart School – we appreciate you!
This week’s events:
Wednesday we will be raising money for our first trimester mission, Adopt-A-Family. All students bring in $1.00 or more to help support our mission project. AND it is a day to come to school dressed in their favorite non-uniform clothes. Please check the handbook for the non-uniform dress code. It is always important for your child to wear shoes. No sandals, please. Also dresses, skirts, and shorts for girls need to be the same length as their uniform.
Thursday we have a special outreach program from the City of Ventura called Feathered Friends. Their program brings much information on birds using hands on materials and puppets. All programs follow California Science Standards. Our science focus begins with Life Science; different types of plants and animals that inhabit the Earth.
Friday is a full day of school – we will enjoy ‘School Families’ in the afternoon.
Our Academics week:
Our religion focus will center on Bible Stories from the Children’s Bible and our religion text. We will take a couple of days and work on how families love and care for each other as they grow and change – from our Family Life Series.
English Language Arts will find us working on letter/ sound recognition, rhyming and Nursery Rhymes. Vocabulary expansion learning to use naming words to describe our 5 senses. Letters we will be learning this week will include Nn, Oo, Pp and Qq there will be some print practice and simple sight word sentences. Comprehension focus will be noting details as we listen to big book stories.
Everyday Math lessons include recognizing and writing numbers, counting on from a given number, skip counting by 5’s and 10’s as well as our daily graphing.
Life Science in the lab – learning about birds, their coverings/body parts, and movement and migration.
Social Studies will continue with rules in our community and follow up on mapping.
That should take us through the week- if you have any questions or would like to do prep work for service hours please send me an email.
