This week, Kindergarten learned about the four seasons! The children were able to make meaningful connections to each season by sharing what they wear as the seasons go by. They also observed how a tree changes during each season and created their own artwork to represent these changes!

Please practice skip counting to one hundred with them at home by grouping small objects into sets of fives or tens and counting orally together! Information about Kindergarten’s 100th Day activity will be placed inside your child’s homework folder next week. Stay tuned!
- “My Read Well” book– Please review the letter of the week and use the “Parent Prompt” questions (found on the bottom of the page) with your child.
- If you notice that your child has not finished the back of their Letter Record page in class, please brainstorm with them three words that begin with that letter. Then, have them write down the three words on the dotted lines and draw their corresponding pictures in the blank box.
