Mrs. Jensen’s News We are learning! April 23rd – April 26th, 2019 Our main story in reading was MAX TAKES THE TRAIN. We discussed all the different types of transportation Max used to get to Zeke’s for their Whamburgers! (bus, train, ferryboat, jet, subway) We focused heavily on all of the vowel sounds (long & short) and found them in the middle of words. We also practiced these sight words: yellow, blue, green, but, good, have, into, must, new & said. In math, we are continuing to work on addition with total of 6, 7 & 8. We’ve learned how to write number bonds and number sentences! For art, we made the EARTH! Ask your child about the process. We are really enjoying the nice weather and have been able to go outside for recess and gym! Yay!! We’ve been practicing for our special Kindergarten Celebration. We can’t wait to show you. *** If your child is coming to school with sandals, please be sure they have tennis shoes to change into daily for gym. Important Dates KINDERGARTEN CELEBRATION – MAY 23RD AT 2:00 All are welcome to watch the kids sing! We’ll have juice and cookies after our short program.
