Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Newsletter

May 14, 2018
***In
Math, we have covered all of the
lessons in the Kindergarten math series.
There is a Step Up to First grade component that we will begin in order
to prepare for the transition to 1st grade. We will continue to review: rote counting to
100, identifying numbers and writing numbers 0-20, one to one correspondence,
greater than/less than, comparing two numbers or two groups of objects,
composing and decomposing numbers up to 19 into ten and ones, and two and three
dimensional shapes.
***In
Reading, our new story is Building Beavers and it is an expository nonfiction story. Our amazing words are: beaver, lodge, paddle, river, stream, lake. Our essential question
is “How do beavers build their homes?”. We will also talk about main idea of a story. Please continue to review: letter
names, letter sounds, all the sounds you hear in a word, blending sounds
together to make a word, reading nightly and practicing all sight words.
***Handwriting/Writing- We will continue responding to a given
prompt. We are practicing chopping out
the sounds in the words that we want to write in order to write the letters in
the words independently. We are also
saying out loud what we want to write before we begin to write so that we are
focusing on answering the prompt correctly.
We are making an illustration to match the writing as the final step.
***Kindergarten
Graduation Dress Code- Students
are encouraged to wear a while collared shirt with dress code appropriate
pants, shorts, or skirt for Kindergarten Graduation, however, it is not
mandatory. When picking out your child’s
outfit for Graduation Day, please keep in mind that they will be wearing a cap
and gown for the ceremony and it can get very hot on the stage with the lights
on them. There is also a possibility
that we will be walking to the high school the morning of Graduation to
practice so we ask that your child wears good walking shoes.
