Wow! It is hard to believe that the school year is halfway over. Yesterday was the 90th day! What progress the students have made.


Upcoming events:
Sunday: Open House for new students. This open house is for families who are new to the area, or have heard about Samsula and are interested in enrolling their children for the next school year. Your attendance is welcome, but not necessary.


We have been working hard in reading learning our first word families. We know know –at and –ap family words, and have been practicing finding those words in our stories. We have also started concentrating on story comprehension. When you read a story at home, see if your child can tell you about the characters, the setting and the plot.


In math we have been working on solid shapes, as well as gearing up for day 100. You can help your child get ready by practicing counting to 100 by 1s, 5s, and 10s.


In Science and social studies, we have been talking about MLK and how to be a good friend to everyone. We are starting a unit on night/day and shadows in preparation for Groundhog’s Day.


Brandon was our terrific kid last week, so he got to write our blog today. (there was no terrific kid for this short week) Here is what we have been up to in kindergarten:
We learned about Martin Luther King Jr. He changed the law and helped people. We stayed on green at lunch every day. We made shapes in art. We learned how to do a new book report. Caroline brought a toy turtle. We are watching it hatch. We got to use calculators. We did an obstacle course in P.E. In music, we played instruments and sang about Jack and the Beanstalk. This week was fun!
