The week of Feb. 4-8.

Happy Monday!

We successfully made it through Kansas Day and 100's Day!  Check out the pictures below!  We had a lot of fun counting to 100 different ways, showing our collections, and mixing our food collections together on a sheet to make a trail mix!

Book it Calendars are due tomorrow!  Please make sure a parent signs the bottom along with your child.

Reading/Social Studies this week!
This week we are learning about the Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  Can your child tell you which President is called, "The Father of our Country"?  Also, which one is famous for freeing the slaves?  

Letter of the week--Ww
Sight words:  have, how (We will talk about Interrogative sentences--questions, and we will write questions beginning with have and how.)

Math this week!  Topic 7 continues to be on Understanding Addition.  We have learned the terms- addends and sum. Today we added numbers to 0 and numbers to 1, along with our math ws.  Once they understood the pattern, they got it!

A math packet with a few practice worksheets will be coming home on Thursday to be returned on Monday before our test.  Please make sure to read the directions at the bottom and check over the ws after your child completes it.  It's helpful for you to know if they are understanding the concept of addition.

Counting to 50!  Our goal this month is to count to 50.  Many have accomplished this, but a some keep getting stuck on 29, 39, or 49.  Please have your child count to you and see if they can do it!  The car is a perfect place to count!

February is also dental health month.  We will read a couple of books about teeth this week!

Handwriting--This week we are writing the letter l and words beginning with l.  Please continue to make sure your child is writing letters and numbers starting at the top.  Reversals are developmental at this age, but we do want to make sure we point it out to our KDG to correct them when we see them.

Homework--Please make sure your KDG writes with a pencil when they do their homework.  It's important for them to be able to erase as needed.

Parent Conferences--Just a reminder that KDG conferences are for parents only.  If your child needs to come with you, please bring something for them to do in the hall.  I will have books for them to look at too!
