Dear Kindergarten Parents, Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12, 2020, we will have two Meet Next Years’ Teachers zoom meetings for kindergarten students moving up to first grade. You will learn about the expectations and how to prepare your child for the first grade. The log-in information will be posted on your child’s Google Classroom in the morning and the afternoon. You will be required to sign-in using your child’s nycstudent.net account. You are invited to attend one meeting at 9:00 a.m. or one meeting at 6:30 p.m. Both meetings will have the same information. We will also post the presentation in your child’s Google Classroom if you are unable to attend. Thank you April, 2020 Dear Parents, Kindergarten Remote Learning is happening on Google Classroom Each classroom is hooked up to Google Classroom, the classrooms are full of websites and activities for your child to do on a daily basis. The children should be reading and doing math on a daily basis. We understand how difficult this has been for everyone and we are very proud of what we have seen from our students thus far. First and foremost we hope that everyone is staying healthy and is safe at home. We understand that there are parents that are working and might not be able to get their children online during the day, this is why we take attendance the day after the activities are posted. We ask that you keep in contact with your child's teacher if you have any issues, and look on their Google Classroom daily to check for assignments or notices. We will be doing many new exciting things this month, here is some of the things your children will be working on. Reading - Children will continue to use their reading muscles to read more books. We ask that you have your child practice reading on Raz-Kids on a daily basis. The teachers are able to see how well the children are doing while they read and take the quiz that goes with the books. Writing - Students will be writing How - To - Stories in their writing journals or on the papers that are on the google classroom. You can print out the paper and use it to write the how - to's. The children will be teaching the reader how to do something. They will tell the reader about things that they know how to do and list the steps on how to do it. For example, How to brush your teeth. First you get your toothbrush, next you put toothpaste on the toothbrush, then you move the brush back and forth on your teeth, finally you spit out the toothpaste and rinse your mouth. These are the types of things the children will be teaching the readers. Math - We are working on chapters 8 and 9 in math. The children should be going into Think - Central daily and do the activities that the teachers have put up. We are working on counting and representing numbers up to 20 and we will be working on identifying and naming two dimensional shapes. Phonics - The children will be working on silent e words and digraphs this month. We have been asking for them to write the words in their journals and then write sentences using the words. The google classrooms have videos for the children to watch to help them come up with the words. We are asking that you have your children find those words in their reading and try and use words with silent e and digraphs in their writing. Extra Fun Activities - We are trying to add fun activities for the children to do everyday. We are doing arts and crafts, making instruments, drawing and coloring and cutting and finding things by using a scavenger hunt. We ask that you take some time with the children and play games, do puzzles and have them help you cook super for the family. There are many things that the children can help you with while they are home and safe. Children should also be taking movement breaks throughout the day to keep them motivated and healthy. All of the classes have put up the websites for go - noodle, and yoga videos and yoga cards. We ask that they take breaks throughout the day and the parents and other people that are home can do the exercises with them. We know this is not easy, being cooped up in the house, but try to make the best of it and remember, we miss all of the kids and can't wait to see them again. Stay safe and healthy, The Kindergarten Teachers | ||

April
March is here!
Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss, we will be celebrating his birthday this month by doing a lot of rhyming, reading his stories and learning all about this amazing author. Our trip to Paper Bag Players is Wednesday March 4th. We are also working on planning different trips for the upcoming months. The teachers will be sending home notices once we have planned the trips. March is an exciting wonderful month filled with many fun things.
March Curriculum:
Reading – Kindergarten will be reading bigger books by using bigger reading muscles. Readers will use all of the reading skills they have learned to read challenging books. We will go over looking for sight words, stretching out tricky words, looking at the pictures to see what is happening and where the story is taking place.
Writing – Writing for Readers, students will use their writing powers and all that they have learned about writing to help them write great stories that the readers are able to read. They will make sure they put sight words in their writing, have spaces between words and make sure that they stay on topic and write about a small moment.
Social Studies – Unit 3 – Geography, people and the environment. We will be learning about different people and where they live and come from. We will be looking at maps to learn about how to find things in a certain place. We will discuss different things in the community and what is in our community.
Math – Children will be working on teen numbers in math. They will learn how to count and make groups of teens, they will learn how to recognize and write the numbers in number form and word form. How to count by ones and fives up to 20. After they learn about the teens in chapter 7, they will go to chapter 8 and learn about the number 20 and beyond. (They will be using two ten frames to make 20)
Science – Students are learning about solids and liquids. Ms. Delsoldado has been working with the children to teach them about what a solid is?
And what a liquid is? They will be doing fun experiments on liquids and solids.
Events:
