Hello Parents!
I hope you had a wonderful Spring Break! I know the students
were so excited.
Reminders:
·
Our class is about to garden (one day between
March 23-April 3), and we need a parent volunteer. Please let me know if you
are interested.
·
Please send your child’s library book to school
on Tuesday so that he or she may check out a new one.
·
Please send your child’s book bag with them to
school every day.
English Language Arts and Reading:
·
We will review Qu and the /kw/ sound that they
make when they are together.
·
We will also review verbs, and the students will
be introduced to the past tense and –ed.
·
As a class, we will write an “All About
Kindergarten” book using what we know about expository text features and the
characteristics of “All About Books.”
·
Students will also select a topic of their
choice for an All-About book that they will write. We will begin writing those
as well.
Math:
·
Students will be introduced to fractions as we
begin learning about the concept of halves and equal sharing.
·
We will also begin learning about time by
recording counts for the amount of time it takes to complete different
classroom tasks.
Science/Social Studies/IB:
·
We are beginning a new unit of inquiry: sharing
the planet.
·
The central idea is: humans and their choices
have an impact on the planet. We will discuss ways to be helpful and hurtful to
the planet and how our choices affect the Earth. We will also begin discussing
endangered animals, and the students will have a take-home assignment about an
endangered plant or animal of their choice. This will be sent home within the
next few weeks.
I am looking forward to a great week! Please let me know if
you need anything!
Emily Hudiburg
