 On Tuesday, January 31st we will be celebrating your child’s 100th day in Kindergarten! Can you believe it? The time has really gone fast! We are planning a very special day with lots of “100” activities and we’ll need your help!

Please complete the 100th Day questionnaire with your child. You can help them with spelling but try to have them do most of the writing. We will share our 100th day questionnaires on the 100th day of school, so please be sure to return it before then!!!

On the 100th day of school Kindergarten students are invited to dress as if he/she is 100 years old. Since students need to appear quite a bit older you may want to use props such as canes, walkers, glasses, old fashioned jewelry, wigs, baby powder, etc. Don’t be afraid to use your imagination!

K or C Rule

This week we will be learning the letter Cc and it's sound as in cat, cap, and car. We will also learn the K and C Spelling Rule. The rule explains that we spell the /k/ sound with the letter k when the sound is followed by the letters e, i, and y. We spell the /k/ sound with the letter c when the sound is followed by a, o, u and any consonant.
Example:
K before e, i, or y- kid, kelp
C before a, o, u, or any consonant- cat, cotton, cup
