We have finished the 2nd week of Kindergarten and the students are adjusting very well! Last week we learned to recognize and write the letter “L.” The students really enjoyed the Luau on Friday! This week our letter will be “O” as in octopus. Show and tell for the letter “O” will be Thursday. Please practice the letters L and O at home.
We started Reading with the story, The Little School Bus last week. Watch for your Family Times newsletter to come home with details about the story and skills we will be working on in Reading.
In Math we will continue to work with counting bears, pattern blocks, and linking cubes. Students should practice writing the numbers from 0-5 while singing the number writing verses on their practice pages.
This week we will begin a Science unit called Trees. We will observe and compare the trees around our school.
Last week, our class met their 4th grade reading buddies from Mr. Glessner’s class. Reading buddies will visit our class every Wednesday and read to our Kindergarten students.
Due to some problem in the past week, Silly Bandz are NOT allowed in our classroom. We consider them a toy since students have been playing with them instead of wearing them.
All about me posters will start coming home this week. This poster will help students to get to know each other better. Please complete this poster with your child and return it to school by the due date. Be creative when completing this project, use pictures, stickers, markers, etc.
Please be sure to encourage your child to write their name the proper way. Students should not write their name in all capitals. We understand that some students need practice writing it the correct way but the first step in helping is making sure we are consistent at home and at school.
Book orders are due Friday. This week is also the school book fair. Students will be able to buy books on THURSDAY. If you would like your child to purchase books at the book fair please send money in an envelope with your child’s name, my name, and Book Fair on it.
Please have your child practice buttoning and unbuttoning their pants. This was a BIG problem last week. Thank you!
