Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Nifty Newsletter (week of May 2)
This week in Phonics, we are learning Digraph “ch” like in cheese and Digraph “ee” like in sheep. We will also be reviewing all of our Digraphs (two letters that come together to make one sound) and our “sneaky e rule” to make a vowel long like in “cake”.
In Math, we will continue our addition and subtraction stories. The children do a very lovely job of acting them out and enjoy the elaborate stories and adventures that involve our math concepts. Also, we will be continuing to work on all coins and their values and adding them together to buy things. Symmetry will be introduced as well along with a review of using different objects to measure items.
In Reading, our new story is “This is the Way We Go to School” and we will continue our discussion on different ways to travel and transportation. We will also work on predictions and drawing conclusions about the story. A new practice reader will go home this week as well because we didn’t do one previously due to the Easter holiday and short week.
We will have our monthly Guidance lesson on Friday this week.
Library is on Tuesday; please bring your books in that day.
Gym will be on Wednesday, please don’t forget sneakers.
Kindergarten Graduation will be on Monday, May 23 at 6:30 pm.
Our Kindergarten Field Trip will be May 26. We will be going to Hershey to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
