Let's Go Shopping!

This week in math we continued to practice money. After introducing the penny, nickel, and dime I set up a school store in our classroom. The students really enjoyed playing school store because they were given play money to buy small items! This is a simple game you can play at home to help your child practice money. Next week will learn about time. We will practice telling time to the hour. Money and time are very exciting skills for a kindergartner to learn, however they can be challenging so please practice with your child when you can!

In Language Arts we are practicing retelling the beginning, middle and end of a story. We also began reading words with beginning and ending blends. Some of those words include- clip, sled, stop, desk, flop, sand, lift, plan, nest and step. Along with practicing blends, please practice all of the sight words we learned this year. I do not want anyone to forget the words we practiced earlier in the year!

The Be a Phanatic About Reading program is coming to an end. Please return your reading sheets (even if they are not completely finished) by Monday, March 1st. I will be mailing the information next week. Hopefully the Philly Phanatic will choose to visit our classroom!

I just want to thank everyone again for helping us meet our postcard goal! We now have a total of 143 postcards! The students enjoyed locating where each postcard came from. They were amazed by how far some of the postcards traveled. I have to admit I was surprised and excited as well!
