Dear Parents,
This
week we are going to be working with the letter Vv. The vocabulary that we are
going to be focusing on is the following: valentine, vulture, vest,
volcano, violet, violin, van, veterinarian, vacuum,
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:
We
are going to find out what happens when Victor Viper gives his pal Vera a
valentine in this very funny tale that teaches the letter V.
We will
continue working with the sight words: boy,
from, love, me, no. We are now up to 55 sight words!!! Please practice them
with your child at home!!!
We are going to work with Word
Families. These are words that have the same kind of word ending and a
changeable first letter. For instance, the "at" word family would
include words like cat, pat, rat, that, hat, etc. Words in a family will always
rhyme; however, not all rhyming words belong to the same word family.
"Hair" and "care" both rhyme, but come from different
families. You may want to try the following link for an online game to play
with your child.
In Math, we are going to start doing a mini unit about Honduran Money.
We will be discussing each one of them and its value. We will be sorting them
out by its value. This is also a great opportunity to practice our addition and
subtraction skills. We would like to request your help in sending one of each
of the different coins with your
child to school (in case you have them). If you would like to send in more,
they will surely be welcome in our class!
This week we will be reviewing
all the different groups of animals. We will be classifying animals into their
corresponding group. We will talk a little bit about the group of Insects.
To wrap up our unit on
Animals, we are hosting our marvelous KINDER ZOO on February 27th. Parents are
invited to join the presentations from 8:00 a.m. -9:00 a.m. Each child will
have around 3 minutes to talk about his/her animal. After snack we are going to
invite students and teachers from other grades.
The children were
assigned to an animal. 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 vet,
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!! MARK
YOUR CALENDARS so you can join the fun!!!
The
children in charge of donating the materials for Kindergarten Kafe are: Felipe Funez and Lucia
Torres. Thank you in advance!!!
