We have certainly dived into our Museum artwork this week! Students created their self-portraits and portraits of a friend. We worked with hot and cool colors and different tools of painting. We created abstract cats that we will finish on Monday but they sure are coming out awesome!

In addition to starting our artwork, we have continued to work hard on our writing. We continued working of persuasive writing pieces. Look for them to come home soon- maybe students will even persuade you for something! 

We started a new individual innovation called All I Am. Students describe themselves as what they are: students, kids, boys, girls, dancers... our list went on a on. After students state what they are, they are writing a buddy sentence to complete their description. It is awesome to see what they are continuing to come up with.

We have continued to write in our journals this week using our best guess spelling. We learned a new poem called The Painting Lesson. 

In math we started learning more about the teen numbers and how to break them into groups of ten and the remaining numbers. We are getting good at counting and one to one correspondence. Please keep practicing at home counting with your child. By the end of Kindergarten we expect them to be able to count to 100. Also, please keep practicing with your student their math facts (addition and subtraction to 5). I have started re-testing students on addition facts and subtraction soon.  

Don't forget the Francis Wyman Carnival is tomorrow! It is a great time had by all.

Our next Scholastic book order will be due March 16. You can order books online through the Scholastic website. Keep on reading!
