Hi Families:

Spring is around the corner. We will be working on so many new and exciting things this week in kindergarten.

Here are some of the specific skills and concepts we will be covering over the next five days:
· Review penny, nickel and introduce dime (continue to practice at home)
· Counting by 2’s
· Exchanging pennies for nickels (continue to practice at home)
· Exchanging nickels for dimes (continue to practice at home)
· Adding details to our writing and pictures
· Introduction to US map and states
· Sight word roll and record
· Printing the letter Vv
· Compare and contrast two versions of THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF
· Reading: COOKIE’S WEEK, WOCKET IN MY POCKET
· Rhyming words

This week for show and tell, please help your student bring in something that has a state name on it. We will be mapping these states. Examples of things to bring in might include: a t-shirt, state quarter, postcard, book, etc. Let me know if you have any questions.
Please remember to turn in school pictures/money. The class pictures are yours to keep at no cost. All student portraits cost money. If you would like to keep some/all of the photos please see the price list that was included with the packet. I would like to have all picture orders back by Friday. If you do not want to purchase any pictures, please send the entire packet to school with your student. Thank you for your help.
Book orders were sent home last week. If you would like to order any books please enter your orders online or send them to school with your student no later than March 21st.
