100th Day of School 1/28

We had so much fun celebrating the 100th day of school with our class! Students participated in multiple activities related to the number 100 including finding the number 100, writing about what they would do with $100, reading a story about the 100th day of school, and even creating their own very special 100th day of school trail mix. We had so much together! We really want to thank everyone that contributed, we couldn't have done it without you! We also want to thank all the families that participated in our 100th Day of School Cape. They were awesome!!!! Everyone was so excited to wear them (even students that were sick and had to stay at home!). We are so proud of our students for all the learning and growing they have done in the past 100 days, and we look forward to the rest of the time we have together! Enjoy the pictures of our capes and the grandmas and grandpas that showed up to our 100th day of school!

We completed our Sight Word Testing and were very impressed!! There were quite a few students that met our Quarter 2 expectation of reading 40 words or MORE. 

Below are the students that will be joining Ms. Bellot and Ms. Conner in the courtyard during lunch time for our Sight Word Picnic on Thursday, January 30th :)  Students attending the picnic may bring a blanket, towel or sheet to sit on during the picnic.

Week of January 27

We are so excited for this week because on Tuesday 1/28 we will have been in Kindergarten for 100 days!!!!!! We are looking forward to celebrating the 100th Day of School with our students by doing various activities related to 100. We want to thank everyone that has contributed to our 100th Day celebration. We wanted to remind everyone that students should wear their 100 Day Capes to school on Tuesday.

Our resources this week are Spanish, Media, Music, and P.E. Wednesday is an Early Release Day. Our Fun Friday activity is Super Bowl Day, which mean students can wear their favorite football jerseys. Ms. Bellot will be bringing in Fun Friday snacks for the class. There are still multiple Fridays that you and your child can sign up for Fun Friday snacks if you are interested!

SKILLS
Students will be doing their Reading Mastery programs. Our Sight Words for this week can be found below:


READING
We will be reading informational texts about zebras, hippos, giraffes, lions, rhinos each day (unfortunately not available online). We will be working on creating KWL (know, want to learn, and learned) charts for each subject that we read about. We will also continue to work on comprehension of the various texts.

WRITING
In writing, we will focus on writing informational pieces on the various animals we will be reading about.

MATH
We will be starting a new unit in math this week, Addition up to 10! Students will first be combining sets and grasping a firm understanding of numbers facts up to 10. Students will also be introduced to counting by 5's. Continue practicing counting to 100 and counting by 10s with your child at home.

SCIENCE

Due to our 100th Day of School celebration and early release schedule on Wednesday, we do not plan on having time for science.

Ms. Finocchiaro &Frankie Came In

Hi Everyone!! Ms. Finocchiaro here. :) 

I wanted you all to know that I will be returning to the classroom on February 3. I was so excited that I had to come in today with Frankie and see all the students!  Many of them were shocked to see me and they couldn't believe that Baby Frankie was IN OUR CLASSROOM!!  haha It was adorable!!

We took a few pictures in class, but Frankie fell asleep so I'm including one where she's awake with a smile. :)
