The week of April 18-21.

What a beautiful weekend for Easter!  At least we could enjoy it without too much rain to damper the activities!  Hopefully the kids were able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air!

Are there really only 25 days left in Kindergarten?  We have many things to do and so many fun things coming up!  I hope you all have April 28 on your calendar for our Open House from 11:00-11:30ish.  You will be able to take your child with you afterward.  You will see their farm projects, meet our baby chicks and watch our program!

Spelling!  Remember we only have 3 more days to study for the test on Friday.  The kids have been doing well on them!  The words this week are:  but, not, what, all were, orange.  I told the kids that two words are inside orange--or, an, and then add ge.

Progress Reports will go home on Friday.  Please work on any missed skills at home.  Sight words and letter sounds are mainly the skills that are needing extra review.

I would really love for the kids to accomplish these four things by the end of the year.
1.  learn all 50 sight words
2.  tie shoes
3.  know their addition facts to 5 fluently
4.  know their subtraction facts from 5 fluently.

So, please be practicing the math facts and tying shoes.  I will begin testing them the beginning of May.  I feel like tying shoes is a skill to know before leaving KDG.  If they don't have shoelaces, they can practice on your shoes.

Farm Unit--this week we are learning about sheep.  We will write details we learned and draw a sheep in our barn book.  The barn books are so cute!  We can't wait for you to see them at our Open House!

Math this week!
This week we will continue to focus on Composing numbers 11 to 19, using a ten and ones.  Ask your child how many tens and ones are in the numbers 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 ,19, and 20.

Coming up!
Fri. April 28       Mrs. Scott's Open House--11:00

Fri. May 12         Field Day (it lasts all morning)


Tues. May 23      Last day of school for Kindergarten!  Wow!
