4/3/2019 0 Comments Spring Conferences and TopicsThis week and next week, we will be exploring South America and the Amazon Rainforest! We study this continent for two weeks as we introduce our science theme of "Taking Care of our Earth." After we learn about the amazing birds, mammals, insects, and other creatures that live there, we will talk about how humans can sometimes put those animals at risk.
Did you see the homework in the folders? This assignment does take some time, so please do not leave it until the last minute. Also, please try to keep zealous children from completing assignment too quickly. It is meant to be done neatly and accurately over several days, so it is not due until April 15th. Friendships are an important part of school. In writing, we are going to begin creating a book about good friends in kindergarten. When the books come home, plan some play dates and adventures with their buddies! Hopefully, you can use some of these names for summer play dates as well! In math, we are looking for clues in word problems that tell us whether to add or subtract. We are using visualizing to picture the problem to decide which operation makes sense as well. Developing fluency in addition and subtraction is important, but the conceptual understanding will have a bigger impact in future grades. PTO is a great way to get involved and give back to the Zach community. Plus, I hear they have lots of fun! They are looking to fill a few positions. Let me know if you are interested. Conferences: Spring conferences are not mandatory but are available if you are interested in meeting with me. If you are interested in having a conference scheduled, please email me and we will figure out the best time for both of us to meet. Please know that these conferences are for the purpose of discussing your child's academics or questions you may have for me about your child. These conferences are not for discussing class placement for next year. “When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.” - Ellen DeGeneres
