Home Reading Begins!

Dear Mom and Dad:

I had spring photos done today!

We looked closely at the letter Zz. Ask me to tell you what sound Z makes and to draw it in the air for you. Ask me to tell you what animal we drew today in our visual journals.

I have a home reading package in my backpack! Please review the letter and read the book with me.  I have a tracking sheet that I need to fill out as well.  I need to read my book at least 4 times. Once I get to four times, ask me to read the sentences backwards to show that I know the words and not just memorizing the book.

When I have read my book at least 4 times within 3-4 days, I can return the zip lock with my book and tracking sheet and then I will get a new book to read. There really is no set date to exchange the books, when you are finished. I learned a new reading strategy today that we call “peaking poodle”.

Question of the day: What does the reading strategy “Peaking Poodle” mean?

Love,

Kindergarten

Happy Mother's Day to the mothers of our kindergarten community! You have amazing children and we are absolutely blessed to have the opportunity to be part of your child's development and learning. Have an amazing Mother's Day. You guys rock! no pun intended :) *if you read this Sunday you will get this 

**Monday AM school is going to the Calgary Zoo

**NO SCHOOL for PM kindergarten on Monday

Dear Mom and Dad of AM kindergarten:

I brought a special gift home today that I made for mom. Please remind me to give it to you on Sunday for Mother’s Day!

Today we talked about our senses and how they help us survive. Ask me to tell you what the 5 senses are. We talked about each one and though about how we would use our senses on Monday for our fieldtrip.

We are going to the zoo on Monday ALL DAY. Please check the weather forecast on Sunday evening and dress your child appropriately.Layers are most appropriate as we will be at the zoo all day and it may get warmer in the afternoon. Please pack your child: bottled water,  a couple of snacks and a lunch.

Pick up time at school is around 2:45pm at the kindergarten doors.

Question of the day: What is your most favourite thing about your mom?
