Kindergarten News: March 20th- March 24th

What we’re      

Workin’ on this week..

Language Arts / Social Studies

This week in Language Arts we will be doing a few assessments for report cards!  We will review all 30 of the word wall words we have learned and practice using those words correctly in our writing as well as recognizing them consistently in our reading!  Book Bags are back on Monday (K1 and K2) or when your child's reading group meets (K3 and K4) and will have a reading response paper for the students to fill out after they read!  Than you so much for helping them at home!

Math

This week we are going to start learning about addition! We will be learning different strategies to help us when we are adding (and later on when we are subtracting).

Once we have introduced addition, if you have not tried out Reflex Math with your child, it might be a good time to try. Please remember, if your child becomes frustrated- please stop and let your teacher know and we will provide different ways to practice addition and subtraction at home! :)

Science

We are starting our unit, Animals 2X2. During this time, we will be examining different animals, labeling their parts, learning about their traits and much more! We cannot wait to tie our learning to our field trip to the farm!!
