Kindergarten Update 2/18

Hello Families,

On Monday, February 18th, we will observe George Washington's birthday.  There will be no school on this day.  

On Tuesday, we have our Math Festival from 9:55-10:35.  We still need some volunteers to help out at the Festival.  

We will continue learning about presidents and our country.  Also, we will continue our study on dental awareness for February!  Please encourage students to brush teeth, floss and eat healthy foods.  We will continue our biography study in RTI.  We will also introduce autobiographies.

In Writers Workshop, students  are "editing" their  "How to" books and we will be celebrating in the next couple of weeks.

In Readers Workshop, we are talking about reading with fluency not robot reading.  When reading at home try to help them with reading for fluency with our take home books.  If students still continue to sound out the words have them repeat the sentence with fluency for understanding.  Please remind them that reading is for understanding/comprehending not just about reading the words.  Some students need to slow down with returning the take home books until they master fluency and comprehension.

Word Wall words: will, come

Students are showing so much interest in donating to "Pennies for Patients".  So proud of these students for giving their money for research to help other children.  All money due Friday, February 22. 

In Math, we will continue with subtraction and addition with word problems.  We will start having them come up with their own word problems to solve and share.  We will have different types of math games using positional words, and money recognition.  

Enjoy the holiday weekend!
