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.
In Math, we are going to begin a unit on Measurement.
The children will have fun measuring things around the room using different
kinds of items. We will use items from the class such as unifix cubes, links,
blocks, etc. You may want to do some measurement activities with your child at
home. At this time, they will use non-standard units of measurement and not the
rulers that we normally use to measure things.
We will also continue practicing addition and
subtraction word problems to and from 10. They are all doing great! Please practice the following IXL skills with your
child at home.
Measurement
Q.1 Long and short
Q.2 Tall and short
The sight words that we
are going to be introducing this week are:
if, what, her, has, all
The children are having an
extremely great time learning about all different kinds of animals. This week
our main focus will be learning about MAMMALS!!! We will be
discussing their characteristics, the way they breathe, and how they are born.
We are also going to talk about animals that live under the ocean that belong
to this group.
to
our marvelous KINDER ZOO on February 27th.
The children were assigned to
an animal last week. Your child should create a 3D model about this animal and
have it ready to display it in our room. They should also present facts about
this animal and explain what they have learned about it. We will have a big
event on this day in which children from other grades, teachers, and
administrators will be invited. Your child can come dressed as a scientist, zoo
keeper, or even the animal represented!!! Please be creative, help your child
come up with the ideas. This is a fun family project and we would love to wrap
up our unit on animals with this fun activity!!! MARK YOUR CALENDARS so you can
join the fun!!! Here is the list of students and their assigned animal:
