Mrs.
Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter (Week of March 27, 2017)
Math: We
will be continuing our topic of making
numbers and writing number sentences.
Our assessment will be at the end of the week. Please continue to
practice writing numbers to 20. We also
practice counting to 100 by 1, 5, and 10.
We will continue to review the concepts of putting together (addition)
and taking apart (subtraction).
Reading: Our
new story is Mayday, Mayday!. It is an informational text that we will be
using to review cause and effect. We
will review all letters, sounds, and words that begin with each letter sound. Please continue to practice sight words. The progress is awesome, keep up the hard
work! Please also continue blending
sounds together to make words and taking words apart by their sounds. All of these things help children become
better readers!
Science: We are working very hard on wrapping up our
topics on Plants and Animals. We are looking at land animals and water
animals. We also have been writing based
on information we learned from a story (Spring).
Handwriting: We
talked about how signs in the community can be written in all capitals and how
some capitals and lowercase letters have the same formation like: Ww, Xx, Cc, etc.
Reminders:
***AR books for March are due at the end of the
month. The goal is 15 books a month and
if you need an additional log, please let us know.
***Please help us welcome Ms. Mary Rose Latorre. She
is a student teacher from Bloomsburg University and she will be with us until
May 11. We are super excited to have her
as part of our classroom family.
***Thank you so much for all of the Donations for our Spa Basket. Any final monetary donations are due this
week because we have to finish assembling it for the Basket Auction. It is looking great so far.
***Kindergarten
Graduation information was sent home last week. Please continue to check folders because
there will be more information as it gets closer along with information on
pictures.
***Though shorts are allowed now that it has changed from
Daylight Savings time, please remember that we do try to go outside for recess as much as
possible. Thank you!
