January News... January 16

Way to go, Kindergarten! I am so proud of all of our kindergarteners for the sentences they are writing in their journals! They are looking great! With our writing we are practicing: - starting with a capital letter - putting two spaces after each word - using lowercase letters - putting ending punctuation (. ! ?) Keep writing to our wonderful kindergarten writers! Happy New Year! We have been making people with party hats and writing New Year’s Resolutions to hang in the hallway! I loved reading the New Year’s Resolutions that your kindergarteners brought to school! Thank you also for having your child bring back their weekly homework paper too! Thank you to all of our families who help us in so many ways! Thank you to Amelia’s mom for helping us build our igloo. She already has the ground floor done! Thank you to Teagan’s mom for helping us make granola on Wednesday with oatmeal. January is National Oatmeal Month! Thank you to all of our families and to the people they know for saving gallon milk jugs. Please keep saving them! We need about 60 more. We are learning to write uppercase letters and we are reviewing writing lowercase letters. The letters this week are: Aa,Bb,Cc,Dd,Ee,Ff. We are also learning to tap and blend 3 letter words such as: man hug kit bat sip top jug map van In math we are learning about addition to 5. We have been using manipulatives to make two groups of items and then we add them together. We have also been writing in our January math journals. These will come home at the end of the month.
