We are busy working hard in kindergarten! I cannot believe how quickly everyone is catching on. We have started doing simple addition and subtraction and everyone is doing awesome. We are learning how to use touch point math to add them up as well as counting on. See if your child can explain this to you.
In reading, we have been reading short stories and answering questions about what we have read. Everyone is doing a great job of reading and pretty soon we will be moving to short stories with no pictures.
In writing, we have been writing stories each day. Students have to write about an animal, what they would name it, what it would eat, and what color it would be. They have been coming up with some very creative stories.
Conferences are right around the corner. I can't wait to meet with everyone and tell you how awesome your child is doing. Conferences are the week of March 7-11th. I am hoping to get everyone done on Thursday, March 10th with a few conferences being on Wednesday, March 9th. If you know now that you are unavailable on Thursday or need a later time on Thursday, please email me ASAP and let me know your preferred time. Remember, PM kindergarten comes on Thursday from 8:15-11:15am. There is no school on Friday for PM kindergarten. Kinder express kids will have school on Friday from 8:15-11:15am.
Next week is reading week. We will be learning and writing about Australia! Ask your student to tell you an interesting fact next week.
Keep practicing those sight word flashcards! If you need another set emailed to you, please let me know.
I hope everyone has a great week. If you have any questions please contact me.
