Movin’ through Mathematics!
Kindergarten is busy telling time this marking period. We will learn to tell time to the hour. Students will also identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. In addition, students will begin counting coins! Please practice this skill at home with your child each night. Kindergarten students will also sequence objects by size, count by 10’s, 5’s and 2’s, and we’ll learn how to measure using centimeter cubes and inch squares.
Kindergarten Authors Soar to New Heights!
This marking period, students will write about themselves by demonstrating an understanding of writing conventions such as: writing from left to right, using spaces between words, beginning each sentence with a capital letter, and ending each sentence with correct. Students will continue to use handwriting paper as we write sentences using sight words. We will continue to reinforce our handwriting skills and students will continue sounding out words independently. Please continue to encourage your young speller at home!
Kindergarten Builds Strong Communities and Future Scientists!
As we blast into the final marking period, Kindergarteners will learn about animals! Students will learn about zoo animals, animals to keep as pets, and farm animals. Students will learn how plants grow, too! In addition, Kindergarten students will become entomologists as we begin studying bugs!
It has been a great pleasure getting to know your students this year. We hope you have a wonderful summer vacation J
