Dear Parents,
I
hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
in Kindergarten B. Welcome Velandia Family to Discovery
School!
One Hundred Days of School is right around the corner!
We will be celebrating this milestone on January 30th. The students
will wear a t-shirt with 100 objects on it. (Use the front side of the t-shirt
only).
This project will be done at home.
You can be as creative as you like.
This
week we are going to be working with the letter Gg. The vocabulary that we are
going to be focusing on is the following:
glitter, garden, gum, garage, glasses,
garbage, grandparents, goose, gorilla,
globe, gift, guitar, goggles, gate, and
guard.
glitter, garden, gum, garage, glasses,
garbage, grandparents, goose, gorilla,
globe, gift, guitar, goggles, gate, and
guard.
If you have any items at home that begin with this letter,
please send them in with your child, we return them back on Friday. The kids
get excited to bring things from home.
Will Gorilla learn
to be a good houseguest? As kids giggle at Gorilla’s goofy antics, they’ll
learn about the letter G.
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
The three Billy Goats Gruff want to go to a lush green meadow. In order to get there, they have to cross a bridge inhabited by a horrible Troll. When the tinniest Billy Goat Gruff crosses the bridge he convinces the Troll that he, the tinniest Billy Goat, is much too small to eat. The middle Billy Goat Gruff also convinces the Troll not to eat him because he is also too small. When the Troll tries to eat the biggest Billy Goat Gruff, the oldest brother decides to rid his family of the Troll forever. Once all three Billy Goats Gruff arrive in the meadow, they eat and eat until they become too fat to go home.
Goodnight Moon
It is about a rabbit's routine before he goes to bed. Before his bedtime, the rabbit goes around the room and notices items within eye sight and says goodnight to all of them. Everything from the pictures on the wall to the mice to the clock is mentioned and said goodnight too. As the story continues, the rabbit gets more and more tired before finally saying "Goodnight noises everywhere," just as he falls asleep.

Good Night, Gorilla
This story is about a mischievous monkey who got out of his cage and follows around the zookeeper. As the zookeeper is saying goodnight to all of the animals, his first stop is the gorilla. As he is saying goodnight to the Gorilla, he steals his keys. The monkey then follows him silently and starts letting out all of the animals the zookeeper is saying goodnight to. As the monkey is letting out all of the animals, they are all following the zookeeper to each one of the cages.

This week we will continue working with the sight words that were introduced
last week. These words are: up, look, an,
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 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.

This
month your child will have the opportunity to purchase books through
the International Scholastic Book Clubs. This is an optional
activity offered by the school, in case you want to motivate your child to read at
home and to increase their own library. With you purchase, our library will
accumulate points to redeem for more books for the benefit of you children in
our school. The books will arrive
to the school in one single delivery, and we will distribute them to the
students according to their orders, approximately three weeks after the
purchase due date.
