Last Friday was the last day of the 2nd Trimester. Can you believe it? We are in the last leg of TK. During the last trimester, I will be focusing on the following concepts: reading for comprehension, writing letters and numbers correctly, beginning and ending sounds, addition and subtraction, graphing, and measurement. Many of what we are doing in the last trimester is more like Kindergarten work rather than preschool. However, will still be doing a lot of review work on letter recognition and sounds as well as counting and matching quantity to numerals.
This week is a review week. Our theme is St. Patrick's Day. We will be working on the following:
*Religion - Lenten Theme/St. Patrick
*Math - Review of concepts: numbers, counting
*English/Language Arts - Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato, comprehension and vocabulary, sight words, and letter sound/recognition review
I have been assessing your children since last week for the end of the trimester. I have to admit, I am super proud. There are so many things that your children did not know at the beginning of the year that I can now say, "YES! We've finally got this!" Most students know all their letters and sounds. Many know their sight words. We all know how to read a ten frame for math! Can you tell? I'm so proud of your kids!
We forgot to send home the HOPE bags for the food collection. If you have any nonperishable food that you would like to donate, please send it to school. Those receiving HOPE assistance will be grateful.
Don't forget, we do not have school on Friday. I hope your child enjoys their extra day off... an extra bonus if you can enjoy that day off with your child.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Paragas
