Hi Parents,
The month of March is here already! The year is flying by~we have been in Kindergarten for 120 days as of tomorrow. Wow! I am so impressed by our reading and our printing. Our weekly writings we do on Fridays in our Journals have improved greatly since we began writing in them last October.
We had a visit from Maddie's grandma today. She was our first "Rocking chair" reader. The class certainly enjoyed her visit. Please let me know if you have a relative in your family who would be interested in coming. Your child would greatly appreciate it!
We completed another story in our letter book today. It was our longest one yet, but we all did well.
I sent home take-home books with all the students yesterday. Please encourage your child to read it to you and other family members as often as possible. If you feel the book I send home is not challenging enough, or is too difficult for your child to read, please let me know and I will keep it in mind when I choose the next book for your child to read.
In Math, we talked about fractions. We discussed 1/2 and 1/4. As reinforcement of this concept, ask your child to cut (with your assistance), a sandwich, or a slice of toast into halves and fourths. I brought in graham crackers as an example. The class really seemed to grasp this concept.
I will be doing another Math challenge packet next week. I enjoy doing these with the class-it makes them think a little!!
A schedule of when Baby Duck will be visiting your home should come home next week. Every one will have one overnight with her.
Many of the students seem to be doing their Lenten promises. We discuss these daily. Thank you for encouraging your child to follow through on their daily promise. Its important to do a little something each day during Lent.
All Scholastic book orders are due back this Friday. After this order, I will be sending home one more for the year.
Well, that's about it for now. I'm glad to see the snow melting. Hope Spring weather is just around the corner. We need it!!
Enjoy the remainder of your week~stay healthy!
Mrs. Revis
