Last week we learned our last vowel sound for the letter Ee.  This week we are learning the sound for the letter Xx.  We only have one letter left...Zz!

In reading workshop your children have learned to take care of their books by keeping their books in a special bag.  This week we will talk about the characters and settings in their stories.

In writer's workshop we are continuing to write how-to-books.  Your child can brainstorm more ideas of what they can write about for these books at home by thinking of daily things they do like how to brush your teeth.

In math we are working hard to read, write, count, represent numbers 1-100.  We will dig deeper and take a closer look at these numbers.

Last week in kindergarten we learned the sound for the letter W.  This week we are learning about the sound for the letter Y.  We only have three letters left to learn: X, Z, and E.

In math we are finishing up a unit about teen numbers and showing how they are ten and some more using ten frames.  This week we will begin a unit on representing, counting and writing numbers 20 and up.

In writer's workshop we will begin working on How-To books.  In these books the students will teach the reader how to do something they know how to do by teaching them all the steps.

We will also be talking about CORRECT and what each of the letters stands for.  Al the puppet will be back this week to share more about character education with the kindergartners.  Today the kindergarteners went to the NED assembly.  Ask your child if they can tell you what the letters stand for.  N = Never give up, E = Encourage others and D = Do your best.
