I hope you enjoyed the children's projects from our Dinosaur Exhibit! We worked so hard and were very excited to show off our final pieces. Most of the work was sent home on Friday. The remaining projects will be sent home this week.
During this week, we will continue practicing reading and writing Word Wall words and working in our Daily Five literacy stations. Thank you for returning the books each week! It makes tracking our reading groups so much easier :) As writers, we will practice the different ways to write persuasive/opinion pieces. Last week we learned that we can write letters, poems, songs, and posters to help convince others to agree with our ideas. This week we will work on adding more to our writing to make it even better! The children are enjoying this new unit.
During math, we are working on building numbers 10-20. We are using manipulatives, drawings, and number sentences to practice reading and writing these numbers. For example:
10 (part) +5 (part) = 15 (whole)
This week we will also begin reading books written and illustrated by Eric Carle. This is one of my favorite children's authors! We will read several books by Eric Carle and create beautiful projects to go along with them. We will also read some books about mothers, grandmothers, and aunts as we prepare for Mother's Day! ;)
**On Friday, a note was sent home regarding Kindergarten Graduation T-Shirts. Please return the form with cash payment or a check made out to CASH this week. The children will wear the t-shirts for graduation and for our June field day activities.
**Our last Family Project directions was also sent home. Have fun working on this final kindergarten project with your child. I know that we will enjoy sharing them. :)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a terrific week!
Sincerely,
Eileen Browne
