Friday, April 3rd

Good morning from Mrs. McKnight!

Today is sure to be a fantastically fun Friday! Build a fort out of sheets, blanket, chairs, a couch, etc. Test it out by reading a book in it. Take a picture of you in your fort and send it to me!


Literacy

• Roll a muscle word! Roll a six sided dice and write a muscle word that has many letters. Be persistent and roll and write until you have 20 words!
• Parents: Say the sentence below slowly to your kindergartner and have them write the sentence independently. Have your kindergartner check for the 3 rules of sentences. Have them check to see if they spelled their muscle words correctly. They should fix things they notice. Then you can discuss what looks great and one thing you noticed that they still need to fix (i.e. capital letter to start, spaces, digraphs…).She shut the shed door.
