Kindergarten Newsletter
February 17th - February 21st
We
will be having an extra quick Valentine’s
Day
party
for
our
friends Emerson and Maddox. They
were out sick on Valentine’s Day and who wants to miss all that fun?! We will
have a fun Valentine’s
Day
snack
on
Tuesday
afternoon.
We
will
also
continue moving
through our plant
unit.
As
you
kiddos
about
Tops
and Bottoms. It was such a FUN book. We will
dive into Jack
and the Beanstalk this week. It’s not so much about
how plants grow as it is more about comprehension this week. We will plant some
more seeds and do some plant type activities with this book. We will also
continue to work with manipulating words. It’s a HUGE goal in kindergarten to
be able to auditorily manipulate words. This includes rhyming, segmenting words
into syllables and sounds, deleting and substituting sounds. We are moving
right along with this. J
We will also be moving right along in our
math
too.
We’ll
continue hitting on time to the
hour and money. It’s been fun! Next, we will work with measurement. What more
perfect that measurement and Jack and the Beanstalk?!
Don’t forget to fill out your talent show paper so I can give it to Mrs. Kat
and invite all your peeps. It’s going to be FUN!!!!

•Secret
Tips:
•Readers
use letter
sound relationships to figure out words by looking at the letters and using the
sounds they make. We can help them with this cueing system by asking the kiddos
“Does it look right?”
•We’ll
start talking
about Lips the Fish which is reminding the kiddos
to get
their lips
ready for a word rather than just pausing and then guessing.
•Stretchy
Snake will come next. This encourages kiddos to stretch the word out (sound it
out) instead of guessing.
