Kindergarten News: 2/17

Hello Families!
This week was awesome! Valentine’s Day parties were amazing, and we loved seeing the creativity in student’s valentine boxes. We are digging into the history of America and making connections from life in the past to life now. Students made comparisons and wrote about how life has changed based on our text “When I Was Young In the Mountains.” We are practicing how to read and spell words with digraphs. In math, we are working with teen numbers and place value. Teen numbers are a group of ten and some ones. Ex: 14 is ten and 4 ones.
