This week in Literacy we will be talking about what happens in different kinds of weather. Our vocabulary words are predict, temperature, drought, clever, and storm. We will be learning about the letter k and learning the words “she” and “was”. We will be reading “Rain”, “The Frog and the Locust”, and “Cloud Watch” and we will be focusing on sequencing the story and looking at speech bubbles. In the crabby books we will be reading “Kim and Nan” and during guided reading your child will either be reading “The Rain” or “Weather is Fun”. All of these books will be perfect because they go along so well with the different kinds of weather we are talking about during Unit Studies!
In Math we will be telling story problems, doing many activities with our counting mats and continuing to talk about the number 100! We sure do love numbers and math time!
In writing we will be working on stories that have a beginning, middle, and an end and using leads and transition words. We will continue to work on using adjectives and verbs in our writing and we even learned about plural nouns this past week and will be moving right along to talk about proper nouns this upcoming week!
Also please don't forget that on Tuesday it is a PLC day so we get out of school at 2:18! And this Friday is Movie Night at Meadow Lane so I hope you can all come back and have fun watching a movie with your family at school! More detailed information will be coming home about this event as well!
Also I know this is a month away but don't forget that parent teacher conferences will be coming up on us soon! They are Tuesday, Feb. 23rd, and Thursday, Feb. 25th - it will be on the same day and time as your fall conference - and if you don't remember when that was or you already threw your 2015 calendar away don't worry or panic because I will be sending home a confirmation note with the date and time in a few weeks - but wanted to give you a heads up! I always look forward to talking with my friends and their parents about how they are doing in kindergarten - so again please plan on bringing your kindergartener to the conference!

On a different note...
On the 100th day of school we had so much FUN!!! We celebrated being 100 days smarter in so many different ways. We started the day off by showing off the projects we made with our families and they were awesome!!! We loved all of them and the kids are so excited to bring them back home – I just can’t part with them yet because they are so cute and I love seeing them in our coat hall! We also made necklaces using 100 beads – we first used our counting mat to make 10 groups of 10 and then we started to make our necklace. We also talked about what we would buy if we had $100 and drew a picture and wrote a little story to go along with it. During daily math routines the kids were soo excited to get to 100 – we now know that we can show 100 in many different ways – it can be 1 group of one hundred, 10 groups of 10, or 100 ones. We are sooo smart! We also got to read some great books about the 100th day of school and some of us even dressed up like we were 100 years old! It truly was a wonderful day and I hope it is one that your child will not forget!! Here is the video I made from our super fun day!
