This is a great site to help students with being able to spell some of the site words that we have been working on this year. This site also has additional dolch (sight) words that can be used to start on reading sight words for 1st grade. Thank you so much for the support!

Coins

I have introduced all of the coins. Have your child practice with you how much each of the coins are worth and if they can identify what they are.
This website has alot of good games to play for kindergarteners.

Dear Parents,

            It is getting closer to the end of the year. All of the kids are running low on dry erase markers, if you could please send a new thing of either 2 or 4 markers to school I would really appreciate the help. I would prefer black dry erase markers because the color markers are harder to erase on the white boards. Thank you for all of your support!

Phonics/Writing   

            This last week we read the story Guess How Much I Love You.  We did a lot of great activities with this book. One of our projects we thought of a sentence and then together as a group the kids had to illustrate the sentence on a large piece of paper. They then labeled the paper with post it notes. The kids loved it. I did post some pictures of that project on our class blog thehclubseneca.blogspot.com.

           

Math    

            The past few weeks we have been working on identifying money. I have introduced the penny, nickel, and dime. Please help review the coins at home and how much they are worth.

Library

            Our library day is on every Thursday. Please make sure that the library books are back to school at least by Wednesday of every week so that we will have them ready for Thursday.

Up coming dates:

February 16- Early out

February 17- No school

February 20- school will be in session-snow make up day.

February 14- Valentine’s party at 2:00.

The next few weeks I will send home I a bag entitled “Book Buddies”. This is a story that I have read with your child during centers time and am sending home for them to read to you. In the bag there will usually be sight words to practice as well as a story. Please sign the paper that is in the bag and return the next day. The kids have loved being able to take these home.

Valentine Party: We will be making valentine bags in class to hold the valentine cards. We will be doing this on Monday.

Working together

This week we have been reading the story Guess How Much I Love You.

Today the students worked on a project where they had to illustrate a picture of a specific sentence from the story. Together they then labeled their picture using post it notes. They loved doing this together.
