Where We Are

Thank you all for coming to the Kindergarten Folk Dance. The kids did great and were so cute and we were so glad you were all there to see!

We are starting a new Social Studies unit today on mapping, it's called "Where We Are" the main ideas we are learning are:

• Words help people find things.
• Words can tell how close something is.
• A globe shows water and land.
• A map is a drawing of a place.
• We have traffic symbols.
• We have map symbols.
• A model can show a neighborhood.
• A map can show a neighborhood.
• A school has workers.
• A school has many rooms.

We will be learning to jump rope in PE. We have started Music and singing with Mr. Lee and will be having a performance in May. Save the date May 20th as it is Monterey Ridge's Open house. More details to come. Enjoy your spring break and have a great week!

Updates!

54 more days of Kindergarten...but whose counting? In Writing we are learning to use our senses in our writing. We are writing about how things feel, smell and taste which helps us to add details. In Math we are starting subtraction...this is tricky! Keep telling story problems around the house so your student can get the concept. In Science we have started studying plants. Your studnet needs to know the parts of a plant, and that a plant needs water, sun and air to grow.

Today we are doing some lucky charm graphing with our buddies. It will be a great experience working together.

We are also practicing for our big dance show on March 25th at 7:00. Please have your child meet us in the MPR at 6:45pm.
