Dear Parents,
This week we are going to be working with the
letter Dd. The vocabulary that we are going to be focusing on is the following:
dessert, dictionary, dominoes, dig, dance, daisy, dolphin, donkey, dice,
doctor, drum, deer, doll, desk, and dinosaur.
If you have any
items at home that begin with this letter, send them over with your child and
we will be discussing them in class, we will display them on a table and we
will return them back on Friday. The kids get excited to bring things from
home.
Some of the stories that we will be reading
this week are:
Dozens of doughnuts have disappeared from
Dave's Diner and Detective Dog is on the trail!
In a few simple lines of verse on each spread,
fathers and mothers are ready to put their youngsters to bed. But in this book,
the youngsters are a wide variety of dinosaurs. And how do dinosaurs say good
night?
This delightful story shows not so much how a
dinosaur goes to school, but what it does when it gets there. Does it fidget in
class? Roar out of turn? Disrupt the class? No! It raises its hand, helps its
classmates and tidies up its desk!
Just like kids, dinosaurs have a difficult
time learning to behave at the table. However, with a little help from Mom and
Dad, these young dinosaurs eat all before them with smiles and goodwill.
This is one of those rhythmic, rhyming, funny
books with emphasis on adjectives, this time describing the characteristics of
brightly-colored, extremely funny dinosaurs.
In Math, we are going to be reviewing both
addition and subtraction problems to and from 10. We are going to be discussing
several word problems. The children will get the chance to create their own.
They are all making a really good job with numbers. Please practice the
following IXL skills with your child at home. They might need some help reading
the word problems. However, this is a great opportunity to have your child read
to you.

Last Friday, some
of the children took their Report Cards in their folders. Please sign the envelope
on the Q II line and return it to us as soon as possible. The report cards stay with you at home.
The children are having an extremely great
time learning about all different kinds of animals. This week our main focus
will be learning about REPTILES!!! We are going to be discussing their
characteristics, how they are born, and which animal belong to this group. We
are going to talk about DINOSAURS!!
The children in charge of donating the
materials for Kindergarten Kafe are: Lia Ochoa and Isabella McCaul. Thank
you in advance!!!
