April showers bring May flowers and the flowers are certainly starting to bloom in many yards.I believe our new month is beginning with some rain, so be sure to wear your rain boots and coats this week. Pack an extra pair of socks in your book bag, just in case. Our first week of May will be a short one together. There is NO SCHOOL for students on Thursday, May 4th and Friday, May 5th, due to NBTA Meetings\Council Day.
This week in Kindergarten we will be working on the following;
Literacy- Please read your Borrow-A-Books each night. We have 3 books this week. Read one or two of your books each night. As you read, point to each word and stop at the period.Use the pictures for cues to help identify the words. Read the sight words you know and try to stretch out unknown words by saying all the letter sounds you hear. Please remember to fill in the reading log each night and have your child print their name.This week, please, return all books in the borrow-a-book bag on Wednesday.Thanks!
Rock Star Words- Continue to practice your words this week. Play the "Read for Speed" sight word game again this week. When your child knows all words quickly, please sign (parent signature) the sheet and return it to class and I will test your child to see if they are ready for the next list. The children must consistently know the words each time I test them. The goal is for the children to be confident when reading their books, they recognize these words and consistenly know them without hesitation, this will improve their fluency as they read. Thanks for your support.
Phys. Ed. Classes - We only have gym class on Tuesday this week. Be sure to dress in comfortable clothing ready to run, play and exercise.
School Book Fair- Our annual book fair will be held from Monday,May 1st to Wednesday,May 3rd. The book order flyer went home on Thursday. You can send in money with your child to purchase a book throughout the day from 9-2,or you can attend Family Night together on Wednesday,May 3rd from 5-8pm. All money goes to support our Home & School. Thank you for your support!!
Our Ship is Sinking- Thank you to those who already purchased tickets for repairing our school playground ship equipment. There are still some tickets available, so if you would like more tickets, please send me a note and I can check with Jenna Walsh, our Home & School president.Ticket stubs were sent home in agendas for those who requested paper tickets.
