A Busy Week!

In Language Arts we have been working on sequencing- telling what happens first, next and last in a story. I have just introduced blends with the students this week as well. We are working on the blends-fl, cl, pl, cl. Today I sent home the little tan reading booklet titled "My Words". You will see some words with blends in that story. Please have your child practice reading that, which will give them some extra practice reading words with blends.

This chapter in math has been very exciting for the children. We are learning all about money and time. Today I introduced time to the hour. We will be having a test early next week. It would be a good idea to review the penny, nickel, and dime. The terms morning, afternoon, and evening will also be on the test along with telling time to the hour.

Just a reminder that the 25 book challenge sheets are due as soon as your child has read 25 books. We are planning an end of the year celebration for all students who have participated and returned the sheets! If you have misplaced your sheet please notify me and I will send home a new one.

The Philly Phanatic sheets are due March 31st. Please send them in on or before that date. I will be mailing them out that weekend! Maybe we will be one of the lucky classes to get a visit from the Philly Phanatic!

Good News- our class books are now finished! Your child has worked extremely hard on the book and I think you will be excited to see their work. I will be sending the book to the publisher tomorrow. We will receive the books sometime in April.

More Good News- Thank you to everyone who donated money for the Pennies for Patients Foundation. Although we are not currently winning the contest for the entire school, our class did donate the most money out of the four kindergarten classes!
