September 4-7, 2018

Our first week in Kindergarten was a great success!  The boys and girls have done a great job of adjusting to our daily routine.  We continue to review classroom rules and procedures as well as center rules and proper indoor voice level. 

Thank you for returning all of the beginning forms that were sent home so promptly. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Also, thank you to all who sent in donations of supplies. They will be put to good use.

We began our Reading series with “The Little School Bus.” This is an animal fantasy that introduces the students to characters in a story. The rhyming words and silly animals make the story very entertaining. There are six “amazing words” presented in the story: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. The high frequency words that we are focusing on are: I and am. We are recognizing letters of the alphabet with a target on Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, and Ee.

We are beginning our first topic in Math. This unit teaches numbers 0-10. We will be reading, writing, and counting numbers up to 5 this week. We will also be using manipulatives to count the number of items in a set.

Reminders:

~ Please remember to check your child’s folder every day. The items in the left pocket should be removed and the skills that were taught for the day can be reviewed at home. The right pocket often contains important papers that should be returned to school.

~It is very important for your child to practice his/her 5 digit number daily. Repetition will speed the learning process!

~Your child should continue to wear his/her bus tag to school daily. This helps to avoid confusion during the bus loading process.

~ There will be a school-wide pep rally on Friday, September 7^th.

Please remember to contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful week!
