Mrs. E's Kindergarten Crew: Week of March 6, 2020

Buddies!

A Note from Mrs. E

It was so nice to see all of those smiling faces on Wednesday morning. It sounds like the children had very busy vacations and there was a lot of energy in the classroom this week. Please continue to send all the winter clothing until we are sure that Spring has arrived. Thank you!

Reader’s Workshop

After vacation, we started some work with constructed responses. The children are working on completing sentences about books that we have read. In the next few weeks we will be working on retelling stories after reading or listening to them. The children will work on both of these skills in the coming months as well as in first grade.

Writer’s Workshop

This week we spent time working on finishing up our Eric Carle inspired stories. The children are doing a great job working on creating collages for their illustrations Once our books are completed we will be keeping our books in the classroom to enjoy together and then we will send them home.

Report Cards Are Coming Home Next Thursday (March 12th)

I will be sending home report cards a day early next week as I will be at a kindergarten conference all day on Friday, March 13th. When your child's report card comes home, please take a moment to look at it with your kindergartner. Talk to them about what they are doing well and what they need to work on. Conferences at this time of the year are optional. After looking at your child's report card, if you feel you would like to schedule a parent/teacher conference please send me an email after March 13th. Hopefully, everyone received an email that gave you permission to view your child's video portfolio. If you have not received an email that allows you to view your child's portfolio, please let me know. All the portfolio's were updated before our February break.
