Dear Parents,
Last week
the children had a blast with our Valentine’s Day Celebration. Thank you for
making this day possible for the kids. They all enjoyed having a book from
their secret friend.
This week we are going to be
working with the letter Ee. The vocabulary that we are going to be focusing on
is the following: elevator, egg, envelope, elephant, elbow, escalator, exit,
eggplant, and empty.
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:
Let Elvin
the Elephant entertain you. You'll be amazed at everything Elvin can do! This
engaging rhyming tale teaches the letter E.
Elmer is an elephant who has a
colorful body, with yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, green, black and
white arranged as a patchwork. He has a cheerful and optimistic personality,
and he loves practical jokes.
It's an extraordinary day on
Pebble Island for three frogs when one of them discovers a beautiful white egg.
They've never seen a chicken egg before, but they're sure that's what this must
be. So when the egg hatches and out crawls a long green, scaly creature, they
naturally call it . . . a chicken!
Our new
sight words for this week are: me, love,
no, from, and boy. Please practice these words at home with your child.
It is
important for students to learn sight words in order to help them become fluent
readers. Remember that sight words are words students are able to read upon
“sight” without having to sound them out. They help facilitate reading
comprehension giving students a better opportunity to understand other words in
context as they read.
A fun game you might want to try
at home is the following:
Choose
some sight words so they can have a little fun in the tub practicing these
words. It is super easy to make these bath tub tile sticks. All you need are some sheets of
foam, scissors and a sharpie. Cut out your foam and write some words with a
sharpie.
Once you
get the foam wet, it will stick right onto the tile.
You can
also play a little game to catch the words as you call them out.
In Math we will be introducing
Solid Figures. We will be looking around the classroom for these types of
shapes and we will be discussing objects in our environment that can represent
each shape. PLEASE, if you have any item at home that can be useful to teach
this unit, we would greatly appreciate it if you can send them over. You might
want to look around your house for a ball, a dice, paper towel tube, etc.
The
children are having an extremely great time learning about all different kinds
of animals. This week our main focus will be learning about BIRDS!!! We will be
discussing their characteristics, and how they are born.
To wrap up our unit on
Animals, we are hosting our marvelous KINDER
ZOO on March 3rd.
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!! MARK
YOUR CALENDARS so you can join the fun!!! Here is the list of students and
