Week of December 2

So it's always a little tricky to get back to blogging after a holiday break, so please bare with us. :)

We have split classes for Spanish and Media on Monday and Tuesday. Then on Thursday we have another split class for Music and P.E. Friday we have a Field Trip to the West Branch Library off of Chaffee Rd!! If you haven't filled out a Field Trip Permission slip yet, please do. We'll be sending home a Second Notice for those that need it . **It is a free field trip and we will return in time to eat lunch in the Cafeteria. Not our regular lunch time, however the Cafeteria serves food until 2:00 and we will get served.**

Now for the Academic's:

READING~ We are beginning Reading Mastery. The students in our class will be split up amongst us and other the other Kindergarten teachers based off of their reading ability. This means the hour it takes to facilitate the program will cut away from our Reading Time in class. 

READING SKILLS~ Our words this week are you, had, more & made.  We won't have much time so we won't be listing any other skills, but we'll do our best to get to a Sight Word Reader.

WRITING~ We are beginning Report Writing. We will begin with writing a report about ourselves. The pages will be simple fact items like: name, age, siblings, favorite color, favorite food, etc.  

MATH~ We will continue working on the 2nd Quarter testing items and we will begin discussing more and less. Be prepared to use this vocabulary when discussing group sizes with your child. Have them tell how many more or how many less a group has when comparing.
