Don't Forget
Starting Monday, students will come right into the building before school.
Warmer Weather
We will start going outside for recess at the end of our school day as much as possible. It is often windy on our playground, so be sure your child has a lightweight jacket as it gets warmers or items to layer.
Save the Date
Please join us at 10:30 on the last day of school for an All 4K Music Concert and Popsicles on the Playground. The last day of 4K is June 6th.
Peek At Our WEEK
This week we sorted and measured our Teddy Bears. We also matched sets of teddy bears and read a story called Pairs of Bears.
Guided Reading
This week we read Lion and Mouse an Aesop Fable. Our focus was character voices, dialog, and bold words. We also practiced counting words and spaces in a sentence.
Phonics/Handwriting
Our study letters were V, W, X. Our third and last cycle of the alphabet will focus on lowercase letters. Today, your child is bringing home a laminated resuable practice sheet with a dry erase marker to practice writing their name using an uppercase letter and lowercase letters following. There is a small cheat sheet inside the bag with the language and prompts we use at school. It's important to teach correct formation of it letter. This would also be a great thing to hold on to so that you can again help your child towards the end of summer for kindergarten.
