ABC Countdown
We can't believe our final days of Kindergarten are approaching!! To celebrate the end of the year, we will be doing an ABC Countdown to the last day of school! Each day will be a different letter and different fun activity to celebrate all of our fun times in Kindergarten!!
TCE Terrific Texans
Last week we started a school-wide recognition called Terrific Texan. Throughout the week the learners can earn a Terrific Texan Ticket for outstanding citizenship, leadership and behavior from any teacher in the school. Each time that they earn a ticket they add it to our Kindergarten box. At the end of the day on Friday, Ms. Martin will draw 3 names from each grade to read over the announcements! A new round of earning tickets will begin next week! Keep up the great work!

This week in Writer's Workshop we will learn about "Opinion Writing." We will learn how to state our opinion on a topic and use reasons to back up what we think! We will focus on giving our opinions on Cats vs. Dogs! We will do some research, read some fiction and non-fiction books, and then state our opinions in our writing journals!
Reader's Workshop:
This week in Reader's workshop we will read a picture book each day to go with our letter of the day from end of kindergarten ABC countdown! For example, Monday's letter will be "B" so we will read the book: "Bruce's Big Move" by Ryan T. Higgins. On Tuesday and Wednesday for the letters C and D we will read the books above that go with our writing unit ("Cats vs. Dogs" and "Dog vs. Cat)!
We will also continue working on our reading workshop stations and building stamina in our reading! Everyone is doing a great job! Keep up the reading at home!
