Long weekend!

The trout release is next Friday!! Please see the parent weekly update for details 

Dear Mom and Dad:

AM class: I sang our two volunteer songs today at the volunteer tea.

Please ask me to sing the two songs for you. The first one was “Take me out to Cranston School” and the second one was “Who do we appreciate”.

Here is the link for the second song. 

Who do we appreciate

We talked about what “EEKK” is. Today I practiced reading with a partner. I should be sitting EEKK with my partner. This means: elbow to elbow, knee to knee. Ask me to read my home reading book with you and show you what this looks like.

We learned a poem

EEKK:

Elbow to Elbow

Knee to Knee

I read to you and

You’ll read to me.

Elbow to Elbow

Knee to Knee

Book in the middle

So we both can see!

PM: ask me to tell you about the butterfly life cycle. There are 4 different stages. I drew the life cycle in my visual journal.

I can sing you two songs that I have learned that appreciate our parent volunteers! Ask me to sing you the songs.

Question of the day: what are the stages of the butterfly life cycle?

Love,

Kindergarten

The letter Hh

Dear Mom and Dad:

Ask me to tell you about the letter Hh. I should be able to tell you what sound H makes. I learned that this is a silent sound, not a loud sound, I can check this by putting my finger to my neck and making sure that my throat does not vibrate when I make the sound. Ask me to tell you a few words that start with the letter H 

PM class: We talked about what “EEKK” is. Today I practiced reading with a partner. I should be sitting EEKK with my partner. This means: elbow to elbow, knee to knee. Ask me to read my home reading book with you and show you what this looks like.
