March 29^th – April 1^st       

Happy Friday everyone!  We hope you will all enjoyed a restful and sunshiney week!! 

Here’s what’s coming up for the new week…    

·        Sharing will be /sh/.  Please bring in something that begins with the /sh/ sound!

·        Our theme for this new week will be chicks, bunnies and eggs!!!  Our new word wall word is “was.”  We now know the following words:  I, like, see, a, is, the, can, my, and, have, go, to, has, am, look, are, saw, went, with, up, they, do, but, said, come, will, you & was. 

·        Writing—For the month of April, we will be writing about how things feel when you touch them.  Please have your child write at least two sentences about how something feels when they touch it.  Our goal now is to have the kids choose one topic and elaborate on it, and really describing the experience.  “I love to pet my dog.  He is warm and soft.  His fur is silky and smooth.  When I touch his whiskers they feel stiff.  He doesn’t like it when I touch his whiskers.”  (in Kindergarten writing of course)  We are encouraging LOTS of writing that all goes together!  

·        Reading Eggs!!!  Please continue to log onto Reading Eggs and use this program to help reinforce our standards from home.  We are not requiring it as homework, but we would still like to encourage you to use it.  It’s a great program!

Thank you again for all that you do at home to support your child’s learning.  We appreciate all that you do!  Please feel free to email with any concerns or questions!  Thank you!!
