Week of February 2

Welcome to another week of kindergarten and a new month! We have a lot of activities planned for this month and are looking forward to learning more with our students! Our resources this week are music, art, and P.E. CLE's PTA will be hosting a Game Night this Thursday at 6:00pm. Our Fun Friday Activity is Leap Year Day! The students will be learning more about leap year this week in math and we wanted to incorporate that into our Fun Friday Activity. Students can wear green or frogs on Friday. We still need volunteers to sign up to bring Fun Friday snacks for our class (39 students). Please email us if you are interested in signing up to bring the class snacks.

SKILLS

Our Sight Words for this week can be found below:

READING

Students will continue to read various texts on different animals including elephants, cheetahs, American buffalos, warthogs, and wildbeestes. Students will learn new vocabulary words about each animal and continuing to learn how to identify the main topic and key details of a text.

WRITING

Students will use what they've learned about animals to write informational pieces about an animal of their choosing.

MATH

We will continue with our Addition to 10 unit. Students will learn how to combine sets of objects 7-10 and understand all the possible sets up to 10. Students will also learn that a number combined with 0 is still that number and that a number combined with one is one more. Students will continue to practice counting by 10s and 5s. We will also begin progress report testing for rote counting to 100, counting by 10s, writing numbers up to 15, identifying numbers and groups up to 15. Please review all these skills with your child at home. The following videos will help with some of these skills.
