Friday Note 3-13-15


               
Friday Note - 3/13/15

Events of the Week: Our theme was weather.  We spent the week learning about different types of weather.  The student’s that earned their 3rd quarter reading challenge enjoyed a magic show performance by Ronald McDonald on Tuesday! 

Math: In math we reviewed addition and subtraction.  Please continue to work on this skill at home since switching between the two is often difficult in kindergarten.  Remind them to pay extra close attention to the + and to know which operation they need to use.  Please look over the assessment pages coming home and work with your child on the needed skills. 

Language Workshop: Each day we focused on a different type of weather.  We read different informational books as well as fiction books about weather.
Writing Workshop: We wrote an opinion piece as a class about our favorite special class. The students then wrote an opinion piece about their favorite play center.  Please look over your child’s writing and continue to practice at home. 
Word Study: Our sight words were “do” and “not”.  We practiced making –at words such as cat, hat, bat, that and flat.
