Here is what the children will be doing during the week of March 13-17:

RELIGION:  We will continue learning about the stations of the cross. Every day we start from station 1 and repeat them in order from what we learned so far. They are loving these lessons. They ask daily when its time for stations and get so excited. We will cover stations 9-12 this week. Please ask them about this and continue the conversation at home. You will be amazed with what they know and their perspectives on the stations of the cross! 

MATH:  This week, the children will discuss weight and capacity. We will be having a lot of fun with these concepts this week! 

LANGUAGE ARTS:  This week we are to begin learning about blends. We will be focusing on bl, cl, gl, and sl. Its fun to watch all the words come to life for them when they make these connections. We will also be doing a lot of word work with our new words of the week: oval, triangle. When practicing the word ring, be sure to point out this and there, here and there, and want and what. A lot of children are confused by these newer words. Mrs Penson and I will be sure to continue re-enforcing this at school, but if you do it at home it will really help your child :). Thanks for your partnership! 

Your child is writing in their Kindergarten Journal each week.  I am so proud of their work!  Some children are able to write a three-four word sentence.  We are now talking about the importance of each sentence beginning with a capital letter, spacing between words, and putting an “ending” mark at the end.  (period, question mark, exclamation point) . You will get to see these journals at conferences.

CENTERS: 1. St Patrick’s day measurements  2. Art- Easter cross 3. Count and Stamp 4. Listening 5. Kinetic Sand              6. Free Art 7. Ipads  8. Old Maid with me! 

SOCIAL STUDIES/SCIENCE: Lets Find Out- Stories We love, Science Spin- How toys were made

Special Note:

Please make sure to empty your child’s folder each night and go over with them what they did that day. They are so proud of their hard work! Also, please send in their reading books the next day.  Im sure you can see your child begin to read things around their world. Isnt it so neat?! Enjoy this special time for them!! 

As always, never hesitate to contact me for anything :).
