What is happening next week 
in kindergarten?

Upcoming Dates


January 5th - Report Cards go home (please sign and return to school) 
January 15th - No School

Next week.....
Language Arts
Our two new word wall words will be "for" and "my".  In our daily writing journals we will begin to use a journal checksheet to ensure that we are using capital letters to start a sentence, finger spaces, and periods at the end of a sentence.  The learners use the checksheet to make sure that they included all 3 in their writing.  We will also be working on word families (writing and reading them)  for the next few weeks.

"Book in a Bag" and library books will go home on Monday.  Please make sure to return them at the end of the week.  Thank you!

Social Studies
We will talk about winter and how it affects people, animals, and our world.  

Math 

Our new math unit is money.  Learners will be expected to identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters by size and details. Kindergartners will be exposed to the values of the coins and counting the value of a set of coins but are not expected to do this independently until first grade. 

Reflex Math: Each learner will be coming home with his/her log in information for Reflex Math.  This is a program designed to increase fact fluency. We will be practicing how to use this app in class but it can also be accessed at home through the app or website.  This is NOT mandatory for kindergartners to do at home as addition and subtraction are not officially introduced until the end of the school year.


Science: 
We will be exploring the properties of rocks and soil.All students are encouraged to find a rock from nature and bring it in to class so we can sort them.  Please make sure the rock is one that your child is willing to share with the class and can fit in your child's hand.

TCE Life Principal of the Week: Humanitarianism

Miscellaneous
The chilly weather is upon us.  Please make sure that you send your child with a winter coat, gloves, and a hat each day.  We will go outside for recess if the wind chill temperature is above 32 degrees!  We love fresh air!!
