Week of September 16-20, 2019

Our Reading story for the week is called “Plaidypus Lost.”  This is a fictional story that discusses how families cooperate. We will learn about sequencing to help build comprehension. This skill helps us determine the order in which things happen in a story. Our “Amazing Words” for the week are: platypus, around, lost, found, market, and groceries. The new sight words include the and little. Letter  recognition will include: Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, and Ss.

 Phonics will focus on initial sounds and sound discrimination.

Our Math lessons are teaching about 2-dimensional plane shapes and 3-dimensional solids. We are also practicing positional words (above, below, beside, behind, in front of…)

Reminders:

-Please remember to check folders daily. The “return” items should be sent back promptly. The “Keep” items should be removed from the folder immediately. (Extra papers that are left cause confusion when trying to organize ourselves). Review the schoolwork with your child to reinforce the concepts.

-Please practice sight words daily. I will begin testing this week. Repetition leads to mastery!

-Continue to review your child’s 5 digit number. This is an important tracking number for school information.

-The Kindergarten Fall Festival will be held on Thursday, October 10th.  We are asking each child to donate $3.00 for the Fall Festival. Please remember to send your donation in order to provide a day filled with fun for the children who are working very hard in school.

-Friday, September 20^th will be a Spartan dress down day. Students may donate $1.00 to wear jeans or sweatpants with a Spartan shirt. 

 -Hearing screenings will take place this week.
