For Reading we will begin Unit 5: Going Places.  Our first story will be Max Takes the Train by Rosemary Wells.  It is an animal fantasy story and we will be discussing realism and fantasy.  Watch for your Family Times newsletter!  New high frequency words, yellow, green, and blue will be the focus of this story.  Please practice all sight words daily!!  Since we will be working with the letter Jj and its sound as in jellybeans and joke, students are asked to tell a kid’s JOKE this week.  Jokes can be written down or memorized and should be practiced at home before they are told to the class. Jokes can be shared on Thursday.

In Math, we will finish with Topic 9: Composing and Decomposing Numbers to 10.  Students will decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 pairs in more than one way, will find the number for any number from 1-9 that makes 10 when added to the given number, and will classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.  Review daily work mats and continue to practice addition, subtraction, and different ways to make numbers from 4-10.

Kindergarten Graduation Pictures will be taken on Wednesday, April 6^th.  (There will be NO make-up picture day.)  Envelopes will be sent home soon with portrait package information. **All students will be photographed for the class photo and will need a WHITE COLLARED shirt to wear under a graduation gown.  Girls should not have ponytails high on their heads or wear big hair accessories since they will be wearing a graduation cap!    FYI: Boys will be wearing blue gowns with red hats and girls will be wearing red gowns with blue hats.

**If your child needs any additional portrait info sheets & or order envelopes please let the teacher know and one will be sent home.
