Weekly Update 2/15

Hello KA Families,

I am looking forward to a somewhat regular week of learning in kindergarten!  It has been a while since we have had consecutive days of school! 

This week in reading, we will be focusing on the letters Ee and Bb and the sight words “this” and “do”.  In math, we are working on addition and we will also be studying teen numbers (they always start with a 1!)  We will also be working with our 100 chart, counting by tens, and finding missing numbers.  We will be starting our reading assessments for second trimester, as well as MAP assessments. 

Friday, Feb. 22 is the (new) 100th Day of School: The 100th Day of School is a big celebration in kindergarten!  We celebrate our success as we are more than half way to first grade, and we can count to 100 in many different ways.  We will have 100 snacks, write 100 words, play counting games, and we even get to dress up like we are 100 years old, such fun! 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
