Miss Nenadov’s Kindergarten Weekly Memo
April 19th-April 23rd


Bible-
Jesus Heals Ten Lepers
Lazarus and the Rich Man
The Rich Young Ruler

*Your child’s Bible grade comes mainly from how well they can recite the weekly verse! Please practice with them at home. Each Friday your child stands in front of their peers and they recite the weekly verse! They are graded on how well they know their verse, including the REFERENCE!

Memory Verse: Letter Vv-
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the
Father in my name, He will give it you.”
John 16:23


Sharing Letter- Long Ii (e.g. ice, bike, mice, rice)
*The long Ii sound does not have to come at the beginning

Math-We will finish Chapter 8 on subtraction. The last four weeks of school will be spent learning shapes and number to 30.

Class Work/Homework Schedule

There will be homework packets sent home these last few weeks of school. They will contain the few phonics, handwriting and math pages that we were unable to cover in class. The packets will be sent home on Monday and they will be due on Friday. Your child will receive a grade for their homework. The packets will reinforce skills learned in class and they will give you the opportunity to see how your child is thinking and processing the concepts being taught.

Please continue to read with your child on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Reminders/Notes

*No More Naps- Your child will no longer be taking a nap after lunch. Instead, they will put their heads down on their desks for 15-20 minutes and rest. I will be sure to send home their blankets with them.

*Rainbow Sight Words- Please practice the rainbow sight words with your child! If you lose your list, please check the blog. They are posted! These sight words are going to last us for the rest of the school year. When your child learns all of their sight words, they will get to choose a smencil (smelly pencil) as their reward!

*Last Field Trip- Please turn in your child’s permission slip and money for our field trip on Thursday, April 29th. We will be going to the El Capitan Theatre to watch Disney’s Oceans. We have room for 4 more chaperones. We don’t need any more drivers, but if you are interested in being a chaperone, please let me know. The cost per chaperone is $8.

*Art Festival- Thank you for bringing in jars for the art festival. The candle lanterns look very cute and they will be displayed hanging from a tree. Please come in the Art Festival on Monday, April 20th at 7:00PM.
NOON DISMISSAL

*Pizza Party- Your kids have won a pizza party for this Friday, April 23rd. The Kindergarteners raise the 2nd highest amount of money for the Walk-a-Thon! Great Job! No lunch needed for Friday, but please provide your child with a snack.

*SAT Testing- Yes, your child will be taking the SATs. I have not seen the tests, and I am not familiar with the Kindergarten version of the test yet. We will be testing the week of April 26th-30th. The tests will not take all 5 days and they will not take all day either. I would like to give the tests the first thing in the morning while the kids are still fresh. Please bring your child to school that week and be as punctual as possible! :)
