Happy
February everyone! We have a lot
happening this month!
Here’s what’s coming up for next week…
·
PARENT HOMEWORK!!!!!!!! We hope that you are all working diligently
on your Parent Valentines!!!! Please remember that it doesn’t need to be a
BIG deal. It can be in the form of a
homemade card, a small collage, a small poster, a homemade book, anything you
would like. Our intention is for you to
take some time to shower your child with love, and send it to school IN
SECRET. We will keep them a secret
until Valentine’s Day when we will present them to your child, in front of the
class. Feel free to add photos,
sparkle, glitter, doilies, scrapbook paper, stickers…whatever you love, (please
no food) and send it to school no later than Feb. 11th. Thank you and have fun creating!!
·
Reminder about Valentine’s Day & our
classroom parties. We
hope you have all had an opportunity to go on Sign Up Genius to bring in
something for our class parties. We
could not do what we do without your help!
THANK YOU!!! Please plan to
bring in your child’s VALENTINE BOX on the day of our party, Feb. 12th. Your child can also bring in 30 valentines
for classmates on Friday. Please have
your child SIGN his/her Valentines ONLY.
They will not be delivered if they are addressed to specific
friends. It is much too difficult to
manage!!
·
Our classroom themes next week are Ground Hog Day
and Chinese New Year. Our new word wall
word is “are.” We now know the
following words: I, like, see, a, is,
the, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, am, look, are, saw, went, are.
·
M is the letter for next
week’s sharing. Please remember to have your child write three clues. They need
to be in a sentence format. Your child should practice reading them at home so
it is easier for him/her to read them in front of the class. We are working on
our speaking skills. Thank you.
·
Progress Reports-These
went home last week. IF your child
received a progress report you were given 2 copies.
Please sign one and return it to your child’s teacher. One is for you to keep.
·
WEEKLY HOMEWORK—Please
have your child complete 1-2 pages per day.
Please help and encourage your child to USE THE LINES when writing words
and to write 2-3 sentences on only one topic.
Have your child complete their work in their very best handwriting,
USING CORRECT LETTER FORMATION, as this is a very important skill for
Kindergarten.
·
Writing—Our writing job
is the same all month. We are NOW
writing using SOUND words. Please
have your child write at least two sentences about the sounds you
hear while taking a walk outside.
“Today I took a walk with my dad around the block. We went to the creek and heard birds
chirping in the trees. We also heard
the wind blowing the grass and the weeds.
Then we heard a fire engine siren far away. I like listening to the sounds outside.” (in Kindergarten writing of course)
·
REMINDER Please be sure
that your child returns their book bag in their folder everyday. We cannot send a new book home with them to
practice reading if they did not bring their book bag to reading group. Thank you!!
