Hello KA Parents,
I hope that you are all able to stay safe and warm this stormy weekend!
This week we will continue to work on the letter Ss and the sight word “like”, and we will also introduce the letter Pp and the sight word “a.” I am so proud of how well the students are doing in recognizing sounds, letters, and sight words in our reading! Keep up the great work! In math this week, we will be working on counting and writing numerals to five. The most recent math assessment will go home in your child’s folder this week. We have also been introducing new math games that the students have been practicing and enjoying in class. I hope that you can join me and the other teachers on Thursday for math night from 6:00-7:00 pm. It will be an exciting opportunity to do hands-on math activities with your student, and get more ideas on how to assist your child with math concepts at home! In religion this week, we will be learning more about feelings. We will discuss how God knows our feelings, and that God wants us to be happy. We will also be doing lesson one of Talking about Touching, the Archdiocesan safety course for kindergarten. If you have any questions about this let me know. In science and social studies, we will begin our unit on pumpkins. Friday is our field trip to Craven Farm; please pray that the weather is mild, as we will go rain or shine! Please be sure to send your child in clothes for the weather. Bring eachild’s carseat/booster seat to school, and a sack lunch. Thank you to the following parents, who will be volunteering that day. (*Parents, please arrive in the classroom at 9:45. We will leave at 10:00. We will leave the farm at about 1:15 pm and head back to school. Thanks!)
