Dear Kindergarten and
First Grade Families,
This week
during shared reading time the first graders learned to read the story
The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins. They completed a story map,
learned about contractions and practiced abc order. The kindergarteners
made an alphabet book.
First graders
completed their unit 4 checking progress. Graded tests came home today.
They all did very well! Kindergarteners were introduced to the pattern
block shapes hexagon, trapezoid, and rhombus.
A pink class
list came home today. Please use it for addressing Valentines. Our
Valentine’s Day party will be on Monday, February 14th. It
will only be for the last hour of our day. When the kids come in from
recess we will have our snack, pass out valentines and play some games.
When the kindergarteners were in Mr. K’s class some parents signed up to
help. From that list I have Jay & Deanna Osga helping in the classroom,
Katie Revolt bringing plates and cups, Mrs. Corey bringing milk, Mrs.
Niederstadt bringing rice krispie treats, and Mrs. Petrosky bringing in
a snack. If there are any first grade parents that would be willing to
provide a couple more little snack type foods like cheese and crackers
or grapes that would be great! |
First grade
spelling tests were graded and sent home today. If your child spelled
all six of their words correct they received a pack of Smarties! If any
of their words were misspelled those words will be on next week’s list.
There will be
another teacher in-service on Monday, January 31st. There
will be no school for students on that day.
Questions to
ask your child this week are the following:
Kindergarten
1)
Can you tell me the names of the shapes
you learned in math this week?
2)
Can you tell me about the alphabet book
pages you made?
First Grade
1)
Can you use the following contractions
on a sentence? It’s, We’ll, She’s, He’s
2)
Can you solve the following subtraction
problems? 10-5=, 6-3=, 9-1=
Have a nice weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lyman |
