Kindergarten News
We are nearing the end of our Wheels, Wings and Other Things transportation unit. We’ve learned a lot about the different types of transportation that people have and use. When we come back from spring break, we will focus on the letters Vv and Zz and introduce new sight words where and come. These are the last two words students must learn this year! Please review skills over break once or twice to keep them fresh in your child’s mind.
We hope you have a wonderful & relaxing spring break!
