Week of April 2nd -6th Letter H and Animal Museum

Hi Parents,

Welcome Back! I hope everyone had a wonderful Semana Santa! We are ready to begin our fourth quarter. 

This week we will be working with letter Hh. The vocabulary that we are going to be focusing on is the following: hamburger, hammer, hanger, hospital, honey, hippopotamus, hose, hopscotch, helmet, helicopter, hive, hair, hay, hot dog, and hula hoops. 

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:

Where is Baby Hippo hiding? We will help his mother find him in this hilarious hide-and-seek story that teaches the letter H.

Harry is a white dog with black spots who loves everything . . . except for baths. So one day before bath time, Harry runs away. He plays outside all day long, digging and sliding in everything from garden soil to pavement tar. By the time he returns home, Harry is so dirty he looks like a black dog with white spots. His family doesn't even recognize him!

Our new sight words for this week are:  me, love, no, from, get, boy.
Please practice these words at home with your child. This last quarter we will be focusing on 6 sight words every two weeks.

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.

Kindergarten will be hosting our annual  KINDER 

ZOO on Friday,  April 6th. Please come and join us 

at 8:15 in the Early Childhood play area.


 *** We will be sending home your child's animal 

information so he/ she can practice at home for 

Friday's presentation

  

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.
