ROE Kindergarten - Week of Feb. 5
Where the Magic Happens!
Greetings Kindergarten Families
We are so excited to celebrate 100 days of school this Friday, 02/09! Kids may dress as an "old" person or wear 100s day shirts. Have students count 100 of something (small, like pennies, marshmallows, legos) and put them in a baggie. We will share and compare!
REMINDER: Please keep students home if they are sick; they cannot return to school until they are fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT medication.
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
ELAR - We will read fairy tales, fables and folktales and identify characteristics of each. We will practice editing and revising our writing.
Math- We will continue working on subtraction using word problems and begin our unit on graphing and data.
Science - We will continue our discussion about what is in the sky (day/night) and understanding shadows.
Social Studies- We will continue our celebration of Black History Month.
Suite 360 (Social Emotional curriculum): We will focus on making responsible decisions
Sight Words
Continue to practice sight words with your child at home. Make it fun by writing on post-it notes and hiding them around the house or play a memory game with them. Here is the link to the revised/updated sight word list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17miLoKGFxKZF6WSyZClm1cH7WUQ1y0Y5m2lPVVR0d08/edit?usp=sharing
Reading at home
Please read nightly with your child and complete the reading log. Focus on the who, what, when, where and why of the story. Ask questions along the way and practice retelling details. Ask your child why the author might have written the story? Was it to persuade, inform or entertain? Be sure to send your "baggie book" back to school after you've read it 10 times so you may earn a prize and a new book to read!
