Monday, May 16th

Today we looked at the letters t and h and the sound they make when we put them together.  We practiced making the "thhhhhh" sound by putting up our hand in front of our mouth and feeling the air when we say "th".
We also looked at our word of the week "that".  The students noticed right away that last week's word (at) was inside "that " as well as the word hat.  We had a fun time coming up with words that belong to the "at" family.  The students did a great job writing in their writing notebooks.  Their writing is really taking off and it's nice to see them looking at our word wall to help with their writing.

In Math we read a book called "Ten Black Dots".  It inspired a lot of cool looking sculptures and free art!  We also revisited tally marks and used them while taking surveys.  We will continue to collect and graph data this week.








Reminders:

With the chilly weather in the mornings, please ensure that your child has a coat or warm sweatshirt.  They are outside for 20 minutes twice a day.

Senior kindergarten students- please remember to send the Snuggle folders back on Friday.

Blankets- We will send the blankets home on Friday to be washed.  Please send them back next Tuesday.
