February 4th - February 8th

What We're Working on This Week

Language Arts

This week we will continue working on our journal writing: starting with a capital letter, using spaces between words, and ending with proper punctuation!  We have come so far!!

We will also focus on word families.  Word families are words that have the same endings like:
cat, bat, hat, mat, sat, are all part of the -at word family.  Practice some in the car while driving or at home too just for fun!

We will also keep working on our reading in Readers Workshop and in guided reading groups!  Everyone has grown so much!!  Book Bags will be back on Monday so please keep reading at home!  Reading Rocks!

This week we will talk about Valentine's Day and friendships and how to be a good friend to others! 
We can't wait to celebrate our friendships on Valentine's Day!

In Math this week we will be exploring how to to solve Story Problems. We will use addition and subtraction key words to help us solve these problems. We will also try writing our own problems for our classmates to solve!

Valentine's Day


We are so excited to celebrate Valentine's Day in Kindergarten! Your homeroom teacher has sent home a list of the learners in your child's class. Please have your child address a Valentine card to each child in their class. They may bring these cards to school Monday, February 11th through Thursday, February 14th. We will celebrate with a party on February 14th and 2:00pm. All parents are welcome to join!

We will be decorating our Valentine's bags at school next Friday, February 8th. If you would like to donate items to help us decorate these bags, we would SO appreciate it. We are mostly in need of heart-themed stickers, doilies, ribbon, stamps, etc. (Things that are easy to glue on their bags!) Thank you so much!!
