Chickens Aren't the Only Ones

Field Trip- We had a great time on our field trip to the Smith Center. The play was great, but the kids LOVED the bus! LOL

Self Portrait T-shirt- Our order should go out sometime this week.  The kids did a great job on their self portraits.  The shirts are going to be adorable!  We will get the shirts sometime before kindergarten promotion (more information coming soon).

Snacks-  Our class needs snacks.  Please also consider donating water bottles, I give them to kids when they forget their own because we don’t have a water fountain.  With the weather warming up the kids are really going through them pretty quick. Thanks!

Kona Ice- Kona Ice will be on the large playground after school on Fridays.  Kindergarten students are welcome to purchase Kona Ice but will need a parent present to help navigate the crowd. Thanks!

Reading Group Books- Please help your child practice reading his or her book at home, then ask your child to close the book and retell the story.  Students need to be able to retell the stories they are reading before they can move up to the next level.  Thanks for your help!

What We are Learning…

Thematic Big Book/Shared Reading- This week we will study a book called Chickens Aren’t the Only Ones, and we will learn about oviparous animals.

Phonics- We will work on handwriting, letter sounds and using letters and sounds to spell and read words.  This week we will focus on digraphs (ch, sh, wh, and th).
