Jolly Phonics     This week we worked on the letter sounds “g, o, u, l, , and f ” in our Jolly Phonics books.  Please review these sounds and songs with your child. 

Handwriting: We worked on writing the lower case letters a, d, o, and g.

Science: The kindergarten students will be starting a new science unit next week.  It is entitled Helping Students Protect the Environment and Live Well.  Throughout this unit the students will be learning that everything comes from the earth.  They will learn about natural resources and the products that are made from those resources.  The students will also learn about repurposing items. Our classes will be creating a “Dump Library” to be maintained in our classrooms.  If you have any old books you would be able to donate to our classroom, we would appreciate them.

Math: Math skills we worked on this week included sorting, counting and recognizing numbers 1 to 10, and comparing body heights to objects in the classroom.

Writing: We read a story about a child named Titch. The children learned how to discuss the book with a partner and generate writing topics.  They then wrote about things they liked to do with their own families.

Grandparents’ Day: The kindergarten students loved inviting their grandparents to enjoy a fruit smoothie with them at school. The students were so proud to show off their schoolwork to their grandparents.
