KINDERGARTEN NEWS
MONDAY, APRIL 4TH IS DAY 1 (COMPUTERS). THURSDAY, APRIL 7TH IS KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION PHOTOGRAPHS. CHILDREN MUST WEAR A WHITE COLLARED SHIRT. THEY WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHED IN A CAP AND GOWN, SO KEEP HAIRDOS SIMPLE AND NO ELABORATE HAIR ACCESSORIES, PLEASE.
WE HAVE FINISHED LEARNING ALL OF THE 26 LETTERS (FINALLY!); SO, THIS WEEK WE WILL LEARN ABOUT THE LONG VOWEL RULE. THE LONG VOWEL RULE STATES: A VOWEL NOT FOLLOWED BY A CONSONANT IS LONG; CODE IT WITH A MACRON. PREVIOUSLY, THE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED TO CODE SHORT VOWELS WITH BREVES9THEY LOOK LIKE SMILES). THEY ALSO KNOW THAT WHEN A VOWEL IS FOLLOWED BY A CONSONANT IN A WORD THE VOWEL IS SHORT. THERE IS NO SHOW 'N TELL.
IN READING WE WILL READ THE LAST BOOK IN UNIT 4. IT IS "ABUELA" BY ARTHUR DORROS. IT IS A FANTASY STORY ABOUT A GIRL AND HER GRANDMOTHER (ABUELA) AND HOW THEY TAKE A FLYING ADVENTURE AROUND NEW YORK CITY. THIS BOOK INCLUDES MANY SPANISH WORDS; SO, DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOUR CHILD TRIES SOME OUT ON YOU. WE WILL REVIEW THE VOWEL Ee AND OUR NEW H/F WORDS-HERE, GO, FROM. WE WILL REVISIT THE COMPREHENSION SKILL-SETTING.
THE READING WORD LIST #18 SHOULD HAVE COME HOME IN YOUR CHILD'S FOLDER ON FRIDAY (4-1). SORRY, I FORGOT TO SEND IT HOME (GUESS I WAS SIDETRACKED BY WEDDING PREPARATIONS!). THE CHILDREN WILL NOW BE ASSESSED ON FRIDAY, APRIL 8 AND WE WILL TRY TO STAY ON THIS SCHEDULE.
IN MATH WE WILL BE ASSESSING YOUR CHILD'S ABILITY TO COPY A DESIGN ON A GEOBOARD. EACH MORNING WE WILL WORK WITH A NEW ABC PATTERN ON OUR APRIL CALENDAR AND A NEW SHAPE-THE ELLIPSE! IN THE NEXT GROUP OF MATH LESSONS THEY WILL BE WORKING WITH A ABBC COLOR PATTERN. THEY WILL IDENTIFY RIGHT AND LEFT. THEY WILL LABEL THINGS SMALL, MEDIUM AND LARGE. THEY WILL ALSO BE COUNTING BACKWARD USING A NUMBER LINE.
WE ARE PLANNING AN EASTER EGG HUNT AND SMALL PARTY FOR KINDERGARTEN ON WEDNESDAY. APRIL 20TH IN THE A.M. ALL OF THE EGGS WILL HAVE READING SIGHT WORDS WRITTEN ON THEM. OUR CLASS' SIGHT WORD IS LOVE.
