March 17-21 IMPORTANT EVENTS DOC and Happy St. Patrick's Day!




Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit!- Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who celebrate!

Hello!

It was so nice to meet with you last week at our conference. There is always so much to talk about at a conference and I realize for many of you it probably was not enough time. Like I said at our conference, please do not hesitate to reach out if you want to discuss more or have any questions/concerns. I am happy to chat more!

We will finish up our unit on Dinosaurs this week. We will be learning more about fossils and making our own "fossil" to bring home as well as estimate how many kindergartners feet would fit inside a T Rex foot!

We have just completed unit 3 in Fundations and are about to begin learning about digraphs (ch, th, wh, sh and ck). Here are the pictures the children use to help them associate the sounds:


I am seeing lots of improvement in the students' writing and it is really exciting! Having these digraphs under our belts will certainly make writing even easier.
We will practice the new sight words: he, she 

The students will continue to learn about shapes in math. This week, our focus is on 2D shapes and comparing them to 3D shapes. They will continue to make combinations of 10 and practice those math facts. 

We will begin our 3rd trimester special on Wednesday- Music! 

We have been reading the March Madness books and will (hopefully) be able to vote on our absolute favorite by the end of the week. Stay tuned to see our favorite!

We will begin Module 4 in Wit and Wisdom this week. Our topic is: The Continents. I wonder what "Witty Bear" will be wearing to give the students a hint about their topic! I have a stuffed bear (Witty) who dresses for each module to help motivate our learning. I will try to take a picture of Witty in costume for you😂. Here is a link to what we will be learning for the next several weeks:    Module 4: The Continents Home Link


We will participate in lesson 22 in Second Step: having fun with our friends

The last trimester of school gets REALLY busy. The K team put together an Important Events doc for you to reference. I will add our own class events to the doc if needed. I will be posting it weekly to keep you informed-Please keep it handy!


Here are a few pictures from last (short) week-
