WEEK OF JANUARY 6-8, 2015







Welcome back!!! We hope you all had a fantastic Winter Break. We are with the batteries recharged to continue having fun and learning every day in our Kindergarten World. We wish you the best of the best in this New Year!


This week we are going to be working with the letter Jj. The vocabulary words that we are going to be focusing on are: jelly, juice, jar, jump rope, jeans, jeep, jacket, jet, jacks, jellybeans, jewelry, jaguar, jug, jeep and jack-o'-lantern.
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 stories that we are going to be reading with the children are:


But no jaguars love it more than Jeremy! We will join Jeremy as he makes jam at the Jungleberry Jamboree!







The story begins with a sweet brown bear taking a berry picking adventure with a curious little boy. As they go about their berry-finding expedition, the illustrator depicts each scene with enormous imagination and creativity.

This is the turtle that slid into the pond and ate the snake that dropped from a branch and swallowed the fish that swam after the frog -- JUMP, FROG, JUMP!" This infectious cumulative tale will soon have the young frogs you know jumping and chanting with joy.




Muffy is having a Spring Fling party complete with the Egg Push, the Bunny Hop and the Jelly Bean Hunt for the grand prize of a huge chocolate egg! Everyone wants to win, but poor Arthur is so slow at everything. While the others fill their bags, Arthur finds one, then two, ever so slowly. Who will win the Jelly Bean Hunt?











We are back with sight words. During the month of December we practiced all the 35 sight words the children should know up to now. The sight words that we are going to be introducing this week are: an, look, up, play, said. Please take 15 minutes every day to practice them at home with your child. It is very important for all of them to recognize all the sight words we have covered in class so far. Once they can recognize sight words it is going to be a lot easier for them to read books.

In Math we are going to be introducing the concept of BEFORE. We are going to work with addition problems to 10 and reading a bar graph.
In Phonemic Awareness we are going to be working with oral blending of phoneme by phoneme. c-a-t = cat

The children in charge of donating the materials for Kindergarten Kafe this week are Valentina Mejia and Lexi Ruta Thank you in advance!!
