Happy New Year! We are halfway through Kindergarten. I hope everyone had a nice Winter Break. We will be jumping right into the 3rd quarter building on our reading, writing and math skills!

Supplies needed:

Playdoh

Hand sanitizer

Crayons

As a friendly reminder, toys and stuffed animals are not allowed at school, unless specified. Please help us have a good start to our day so we are not distracted.

We are beginning our unit on composing and decomposing numbers. We will learn how to break apart numbers and put numbers together in different ways (4+1=5, 3+2=5, 5+0=5). We will learn about adding numbers and even begin working on using these skills with story problems.

Students are enjoying work on ST Math during computer time in math.

We are continuing to work on our foundational writing skills (stretching out words we don’t know, capitals, punctuations and finger spaces). We will be working on writing 2 or more sentences to help tell a story or describe something.

We are excited to be incorporating lots of Winter projects into our reading, writing and math!
