Weekly Update

News to Know

• Progress Reports for the second trimester were in clear folders on Friday. Please review and keep for your records. If you have any questions or did not receive one, please let me know. Also, please keep in mind the continuum is directly related to the mastery of the kindergarten standards for the whole year. There are many science, humanities, and math standards that we have not covered yet in the school year.
• When your little darling comes home with a good choices slip, please keep this to cherish at home; there is no need to return it!
• If you are volunteering in the classroom during labs, literacy labs are in the morning from 8:45-9:30 am and learning labs are in the afternoon from 12:00 - 12:45 pm. Thanks so much for committing your time to help us learn!
• Our new snack calendar was in the clear folder on Friday. Please remember until our return to Building B, no refrigerated snacks and individually packaged snacks are very helpful.
• Monday is the first school day of the month. Please return the red homework folder on Monday with completed monthly homework packet.

Academic Update

• This past week we learned a lot about the very large biome of the ocean! We also discussed many of the smaller biomes within it like coral reefs, sea floors, and beaches. In math we continued with measurement, tally marks, attribute blocks, and created a class pets graph. And of course, the 100th day!! It was so much fun creating necklaces and crowns, sharing our 100 projects, and working with the 100s grid. Thank you so much for all of the donations and help! It was a great success!

• Next week: grasslands, /th/, /ch/, number grids, Groundhog day, & continuing our class book!
