READING
We are finishing up the “Sunshine and Raindrops” theme and the children have learned to recognize and write capital and lower case forms of the letters l, k, and qu and identify the sounds these letters represent. The new high frequency words are “here” and “is”. We’ve been sounding out lots and lots of words that use the short a and short i sounds.
MATH
We used the Class Number Grid as a math tool this week. We identified and located numbers on the grid. We discovered number patterns on the grid and used the number grid to add and subtract. We finished the week by playing Bingo with numbers up to 100!
SOCIAL STUDIES
“This is our Country” is the name of our current social studies theme. The students located our state on a United States map and identified land and water features in or near our state. We made a U.S. map puzzle to practice finding our state. Last week we marked each state that the K-A friends sent a valentine to.
We learned to recognized national symbols such as the flag, the bald eagle, and the statue of liberty.

Field Trip to the Post Office
A social studies project took the K-A Kids to the post office before valentine's day. They were each assigned to bring to school a valentine/letter stamped and addressed to be mailed. Before our trip we marked the U.S. map to show where each letter was headed. We took them to the post office to be mailed and then had an informational tour.

Day 100 service project
The kindergarten classes challenged Wellman Elementary to help collect 100 items for the food bank by Day 100. We numbered each item and lined them up in the hallway. We collected over 300 items and sent them to the local food bank. Way to go, Wellman Elementary!
Day 100 Collections
The K-A Kids were assigned to bring a collection of 100 things to share on Day 100.

Day 100!
100th Day of School
We’ve waited so long. It’s finally here.
The 100th day of our school year!
We’re ready to count and ready to cheer.
Our 100th day is finally here!
It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Tuesday was the 100th day of school. It was interrupted by the weather, but we managed to get in many fun activities and finished up the rest on Friday! This group of kindergartners has made so much progress in these 100 days. They’ve grown in so many ways – emotionally, physically, socially, and academically! I am so proud of them.
We used many activities to help celebrate this 100th day of school. THANKS for helping your child collect 100 items to share at school. We are learning to count by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s to 100. Most of the students are capable of counting by 1’s and 10’s to 100 and some by 5’s. WOW! We have worked a lot from the 100 chart. We created our own 100 chart this school year by putting up a number each day. We had fun with a 100-piece puzzle. Each day this school year we added one piece of the puzzle, but we created it upside down so we could see the numbers in order. Tuesday we got to flip it over and find out what the puzzle picture was. Well, first it was dropped and we reassembled it by everyone helping. That helped us learn to read all the big numbers.
Here are some of the activities that we did for Day 100:
Shared our 100 collections that came to school.
Compared weights of the collections using a balance.
Sang a marching song to count by 1’s, 5’s, then 10’s.
Collected 100 items for the Wellman food pantry
With W. E.’s help we collected over300 items!!
Found 100 hearts that were hidden around the room & stuck
them on the 100s chart.
Dot to dot from 1 to 100
Writing: If I had 100 dollars……
