4K Newsletter for January 3-5, 2024

 4K Families,

We are in the new year 2024, and the wheels of 4K keep turning! We have 6 days left of our animal alphabet. We are on letters Uu, Vv, and Ww this week. The animals are urchin, vulture, and walrus. We will have fun learning some new things about these animals while we practice writing letters and words and reinforce our alphabet skills. 

With the new year, the students will begin "signing in" to 4K by writing their names on chart paper each day with their classmates. This will bring so many good concepts including name writing practice. For those children who still struggle to write their name in a controlled way, please continue to have them practice at home. Practice makes perfect. 😊

In math, we will continue to practice writing numbers, reading numbers, counting to 20 and beyond, and adding and subtracting amounts from the whole. 

The January homework packet will come home in folders on Wednesday. Please send the December packet back to school. In order to make the virtual field trip link easier to access and not have to type the links in, I have made a new page on the webpage that has the active links for ease in accessing them. You can find it here  Virtual Field Trips  and please continue to use the paper version for the feedback portion. Thanks again.

Here's to a successful first week of the new calendar year! 

Miss Gilding
