February 5th - 9th Letter Ff

Hi Parents,

Thank you Juwon for our delicious Grapes, Gimbap and 

Chocolate milk!!



 Can you believe it! 

This Friday February 9th we will be celebrating our 100th day of school.
We have a fun filled day for our students. For this 

reason our weekly evaluations will be done on Thursday 

February 8th.

 Valentine's Day is right around the 

corner.

We will celebrate it on Wednesday 

February 14th.

Please send in a shoe box this week. 

We will be making Valentine mailboxes

so the students can receive their Valentine

Treats.


We have 24 students in Kindergarten. If you 

are planning to send treats in please make 

sure there is enough for every student.

This week we are going to be working 

with the letter Ff. The vocabulary is 

the following: 


fan, fish, forest, flower, frog,

french toast, fruit, french fries, 

fox, flag, flashlight, fire, farm, 

football, and family.

If you have any items at home that begin with this letter, send them in so we can share them in class.
 We will display them  and return on Friday. 

Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:

Fifi's flute has fallen in the river. Will it float away forever?

One day, a fox saw a crow with a piece of meat in his beak. The fox was very hungry and thought, “How can I get the piece of cheese?”

He thought for a while. Soon, an idea struck him. Ask your child what happened!!!

While the other field mice work to gather grain and nuts for winter, Frederick sits on a sunny rock by himself. “I gather sun rays for the cold dark winter days,” he tells them. Another day he gathers “colors,” and then “words.” And when the food runs out, it is Frederick, the dreamer and poet, whose endless store of supplies warms the hearts of his fellow mice, and feeds their spirits during the darkest winter days.

Two best friends, a minnow and a tadpole, are practically inseparable until the tadpole grows legs and decides to explore the world beyond the pond. When the tadpole, now a frog, returns to tell his friend of the extraordinary things he’s seen, the minnow, now a fish, tries to follow in his footsteps, but quickly finds that land is not what he expected.

We will continue working with the sight words that were introduced last week: do, so, am, she, go

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. The following link is a nice and fun game to practice these words.

We will continue to work with the concept of 

addition, before, between and after. The students 

are all very excited to be solving  addition.

In Math, we will also  begin our unit on measurement.  The children will have fun measuring objects around the room using different units of measurement. 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. This week our main focus will be Longer and Shorter. We will be using balances!!!

The children are having an extremely great time learning about all different kinds of animals. This week our main focus will be learning about FISH!!! We will be discussing their characteristics, the way they breathe, and how they are born.
