Friday Note: April 27, 2018

Events of the Week: This week we continued our Author Study on Laura Numeroff.  

• Language Workshop: We read several “If you give books”. The students enjoyed hearing about the cat, dog, pig, and moose. We identified the characters and setting in each of the books and compared the stories.

• Writing Workshop: We continued series of events writing.  We practiced by writing the steps we take to get ready for school.

• Reading Workshop: We are continuing to work every day on applying the reading strategies to figure out unknown words in our books.  I am excited about the progress the girls and boys have made so far this year.  I will be assessing end-of-year reading levels in the next couple of weeks.  Please encourage your child to use the reading strategies when he/she is reading with you at home.

• Word Study: Our sight words for the week were “no” and “so”. We also learned that a noun is a person, place, thing, or animal. We learned a verb is a word that tells what someone or something is doing.

• Math: We have started learning to compose and decompose numbers 11 to 19 into sets of tens and leftover ones.  We are also writing the number sentence to match (example: 10 + 8 = 18).

Important Dates:

• May 2 - Kindergarten Field Trip
• May 15th- Cox Care Mobile
• May 23 - Last Day of School- we will dismiss at noon.

The Cox Care Mobile is scheduled to be at Clever schools on Tuesday, May 15, 2018.  This will be the last visit for the school year. If your child is needing immunizations, sports physicals, or preschool physicals, call your school nurse today to schedule an appointment.  Thank you!

Next Week:

• We will continue our author study on Laura Numeroff.
• In math we will continue learning about numbers 11-20.
• We will continue working on sequence writing.
• During word study we will continue to work with nouns and verbs.
• Our sight word will be “am”

Have a great weekend!
