KINDERGARTEN GOES TO THE ZOO!

This week will be the last week of the first nine week period. We will be testing each student for mastery of skills.

Your child will need to:

1. Name all 26 upper and lowercase letters in random order
2. Write the uppercase letters in order
3. Identify colors and color words
4. Read sight words
5. Count to 25
6. Identify numbers 1-10 in random order
7. Write numbers 1-10 in order
8. Identify 2 dimensional shapes
9. Sort objects into given categories
10. Compare/contrast two objects (longer, shorter, taller, lighter, heavier)

We have completed our study of animals from A-Z and will take a trip to the Nashville Zoo this week. Your child will need to wear their red field trip t-shirt and jeans or khaki shorts or pants. They will need to bring a complete lunch, including a drink, in a sack, so that everything can be thrown away. We will be picnicking at the zoo and then playing on the playground before we return to school.

On Friday, we celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday. We learned that he was a real man named John Chapman, and that if he were alive today, he would be 241 years old. We made a special hat to wear to lunch, we made a puppet and sang a song about him, read several books about him, and saw a special movie about his life. We all had a great time!

Blessings!
Mrs. Gee and Mrs. Woody
