Ms. Concannon's Kindergarten: Happy Spring Break!

What an amazing turnout at our "Breakfast, Books and Buddies" event today! Thank you so much for attending, it means so much to your child! We hope you had a great time! Check our class Facebook page to see all the photos and save any you might like!

Fundations: we continued to work on tapping out/reading/writing words with diagraphs in them. In the pictures below we are being diagraph detectives and finding the words that have diagraphs. Check your parent packet in the Friday Folder for how to do this at home.

Shared Reading: we read the big books Look at me and She will be to help us practice our new spelling words. If you are traveling over spring break I recommend taking flash cards with the spelling words on them. This would be a great thing for them to practice while on the plane or in the car! They don't have to be fancy. Just use index cards or even cut up pieces of paper!

New spelling words for after spring break:

you

said (review because still tricky)

Writing Workshop: they loved sharing their non-fiction/informational writing pieces about penguins and elephants with you during our breakfast today. They have worked SO HARD on these and have done an amazing job! You should be so proud of your little writers.

We will spend the first week back from spring break finishing up this unit and then move onto our final writing unit of the school year, opinion writing.

Math: we worked on 3D shapes (cube, cone, sphere, cylinder, pyramid and even added in rectangular prism), learned how to skip count and add on calculators, conducted a survey and made a graph about our favorite type of fruit and learned about pan balances/weight.

Check your child's Friday folder for ways to extend their learning at home.

Packmate of the Month: yay Miles! He was chosen, by his peers, as our March Packmate of the Month! We celebrated him at an assembly on Tuesday.

Ramadan: we learned a bit about Ramadan this week. We are fortunate to have a sweet friend in our class who celebrates Ramadan and was eager to share with her classmates.
