Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Nifty Newsletter (week of December 3)
Homework for the week:
Monday:
all Santa letters due back and ½ sheet practice
Tuesday-Thursday:
½ sheet practice and reader practice, please don’t forget to practice sight words in the envelopes as well
Our new letter is Ff like in Fish. We have been working really hard reviewing all sounds and letters daily and our Phonics papers are now including words that have 4 sounds to blend. If your child is having trouble blending the words, there are still many things that you can do with the word lists to practice the words. You can practice identifying all the letters, making their sounds, and model blending the words. Also, using the words in sentences or talking about the words makes your child more familiar with the words. If you need any other suggestions or need more information, please let us know.
Our new reading story is Little Panda. It will be an informational story about a panda born in a zoo. We will compare and contrast baby pandas and mother pandas. We also have been working very hard on our adjectives (describing words) for colors, sizes, and numbers.
In Math, we will be counting pennies and problem solving. We will also be matching numbers to the correct amount of dots. We will continue our work with the geoboards and everyone did such a good job with making plane shapes this past week.
We would like to give a great big thank you to our presenters from the Seatbelt Safety Program as well as a great job to the Kindergarteners. They were a very good audience and were well behaved!
Our mailman friend will coming to visit us on Friday to collect our letters to Santa and will make sure they get to the North Pole. This is a very special time for Kindergarten and we have lots of fun and meaningful activities planned to make the most of the holiday season.
