Hello Kindie parents:

I hope everyone is enjoying the four day weekend. 
We have had a fun last couple of weeks with our 100th day and Valentine celebrations. Thank you to everyone for helping to make each celebration a huge success. Your children enjoyed the celebrations very much.

I am getting ready to put report cards together. Be looking for your child coming home with them in the next couple of weeks. I will send out an email letting you know that they are coming home.

This week in

Math: we will be starting unit 4. In this unit we will be comparing numbers. We will learn about 3D shapes. We will continue to work on addition and subtraction. 

Reading: We are on unit 7 in Wonders. Are Essential Question is How are some animals alike and how are they different?
In this unit we will continue to work on becoming fluent readers and fluent with all the sounds in a spoken word. Your child will be coming home with a new book this week. Have them read with you for 5 min. each night. Rereading a story is one way for them to become fluent readers. They will be coming home with the books each night except Friday. Ipads will be coming home on Tuesday and Thursday they will have different activities to do in Wonders. Sentence building and phoneme blending.

Writing: In writing we are learning what it means to be a writer? Why does punctuation matters? How does knowing the sounds letters make help you as a writer?
