We continue to be very busy in our kindergarten classroom! Monday is St. Patrick's Day. We will be working on some fun crafts with our buddies to celebrate this day. Please encourage your child to wear green clothes on Monday. Also, our school will be hosing a Book Fair this week. The children will look at books on Monday and can shop for books Tues - Thurs.
Last week we continued reading and listening to books by Dr. Seuss. We have also begun reading and listening to books about the Solar System. We will continue our learning about the Solar System this week. We will be making some fun projects to go along with our learning. We are also working on a mini book about the Solar System that the children will bring home once it is completed.
As writers, we are getting the hang of writing 'how-to' books. This past week we practiced adding diagrams to our stories, and making our writing 'readable' by making sure we were listening to letter sounds and including spaces between our words. We also continue to read our stories to our writing partners and help one another along with our thinking. The children really love writing workshop and being the 'boss of their writing'! :)
As readers,
we continue to work on different literacy activities each day. We call this part of our day Daily Five. We will also
continue to work in small reading groups during this time. The children sometimes bring home books from school. Please listen to your child read, identify sight
words in the story, and talk about the beginning, middle, and end of the
story. Thank you so much for returning the books each day. It really helps with managing the books!Last week we continued reading and listening to books by Dr. Seuss.

In math we have begun learning about subtracting numbers. We are working on telling stories and solving problems by using manipulatives and writing subtraction sentences.
Also, please remember to write down your at home reading minutes on the record sheet for Read Across America! Please use this reading log to track your child's reading minutes each week during the month of March. The class with the most reading minutes wins a pizza party at the end of the month! Our class did so much better this past week :) Keep reading!!!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne
