Measuring in Math

We have begun our new math unit...MEASURING!
This week, we, formally, created our rulers to measure using standard tools.
The KinderKids are LOVING this and cannot wait to 
measure everything in site.
Help your child, at home, by measuring using a measuring tape, yard stick, or just feet.

             Our Hands

We can change the world
with our own hands.
Make a better place
with our own hands.
Make a kinder place
with our own hands.
Celebrate your child's individuality and allow them to flourish and blossom!

What happens when...

What happens when you put 2 letters together to make a new sound?
Well, you get a digraph!
Room 5 has been practicing our digraphs because it will help us spell words when we are sound spelling.
Look!
-ing says /ing/ like in sing!

-ch says /ch/ like in chug.

-sh says /sh/ like in shut.

-oo says /oo/ like in boo!

-th says /th/ like in think
or
/th/ like in the!

-ow says /ow/ like in cow.

Remember, good readers practice reading, so be sure to read to your child and they read to you!
We are exercising our brains, so we can go into 1st grade as readers and writers!

Graham Cracker Houses!

Thank you to all the families who came on Thursday, December 17th for the creations of our holiday graham cracker houses.  
We had an amazing turn out, even as the snow fell and the roads were crummy.  
Another Room 5 Kindergarten memory was made.  
Love.
