We survived our first week in Kindergarten!  The boys and girls are doing a great job adjusting to our daily routine.  We are continuing to review SPARTY 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 began our Math lessons with an introduction to sorting and shape identification. We are discussing the attributes of triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles.  

Reminders:

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

~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.

~Any money sent to school should be placed in an envelope with your child’s name and the reason for the money.  

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

Have a wonderful week!  ~ Mrs. Green
