Feb 5 - Feb 9

February 5th - February 9th

  What is happening next week in kindergarten?

***SIX FLAGS READ TO SUCCEED

We are participating in the Six Flags Read To Succeed program.  This is optional for our learners, but a great way to earn a FREE six flags ticket!!  Each student needs to read (or be read to) for 6 hours.  A log came home this week for you to fill out as you read.  All logs are due by February 23rd.  Tickets will be handed out in the late spring.  This is always a favorite for our learners!!!  It's such an easy way for them to work towards a goal and have a great reward at the end!!  Have fun!!  

***100th day of School Activity

On February 5th, we will be celebrating our 100th day of school.  We will be completing all sorts of fun activities on that day.  Please send a labeled zip lock bag with 100 items to help celebrate our 100th day at school.  Please bring your collection on February 2nd.  Some examples of things to bring would be 100 paperclips, 100 stickers, 100 pennies, etc..the possibilities are endless!   

Upcoming Dates
February 5th - 100th day of school!
February 14th - Valentine's Day Parties  2:00 - 3:00.  All parents are welcome!!

Next week.....
Language Arts
Our two new wall words will be "do" and "here".  This will give us 30 words total!  

In writing we are learning how to extend our sentences to be  more than just a few words in length. :-) 

Social Studies
We will celebrate our 100th day of school on Monday with some fun activities!  We will also continue our Famous American study by talking about Ruby Bridges. 

Math 

Learners will sort shapes based on characteristics of the shapes.  Learners will also identify shapes based on their characteristics, as well as describe characteristics of a specific shapes.

Home Activity - Have your child show you an object that is shaped like a circle, triangle,rectangle and square.  


Reflex Math Each learner came 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: 
Learners will use critical thinking and problem solving to sort plants and identify parts of plants including the plant life cycle.

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!! 

The flu bug has hit kindergarten!  If your child comes down with any symptoms, please make sure that they are fever free for AT LEAST 24 hours before they return to school.  Thanks so much!
