Dear Families,

 I am looking forward to starting Centers this week!  We have been practicing so hopefully everything will run smoothly.

Here's a peek at our week:

Language Arts: Our Houghton Mifflin stories will be non fiction about our 4 seasons. These stories will give us an opportunity to read facts and learn to write in the information genre. Now would be a great time to head to the local library and check out non fiction books on topics that interest your children.

Grammar:  We will work to start to notice how authors use quotations marks in their writing working to incorporate them into our writing soon.


Writer's Workshop: Ask your children about their story because we are in full swing writing a personal narrative looking at a small moment in our lives and the BIG THING THAT HAPPENED during that small moment. It all starts from an EMOTION! So cool!

Word Wall Words: Your children will learn new word wall words each week and together we will put them on our Word Wall. Listed below are the word wall words from Kindergarten. It is my hope that you will make a word wall at home or make flashcards to practice daily with your child. This will help your child with reading, writing, and spelling.

Math: We will work on the skill of SUBITIZING. This is the ability to take a "quick look" and be able to recognize the quantity of objects in a set without having to count each individually. We will use a ten frame and tens sticks to practice.
