WEEK OF JANUARY 17-21, 2011

KINDERGARTEN NEWS
When we return to school, it will be Day 3; our class will have Music.
The letter for the week is Uu as in umbrella, unicorn and United States of America. Students will study the letter Uu in Phonics and Handwriting. We will not do Show 'n Tell. Instead your child will be doing a report on one of the fifty states in the U.S. A letter will be sent home with information about the report. Attached to the letter is the name of the state your child picked and the day of the week(next week) that s/he is presenting the report. This is not to be an elaborate report; just an introduction to doing research. Any questions, please feel free to call or e-mail me.
In Reading we will be reading an informational text about a Panda that lives at the San Diego Zoo. I have already shown the children the Zoo's website on the smartboard. You and your child can even view a panda-cam and watch one of the pandas.
Later this week we will have a special show featuring Rand Whipple from the Box of Light in Danville. He has done many shows at our school and they have been informative and entertaining. Please ask your child about it. The show is scheduled for Thursday (weather permitting).
