Weekly Updates
Good Morning! I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend!
Today I will send home the October Homework packet. The packet will be very different this month. I want the focus of homework to be on two very important things. !. Sight words 2. reading.. The homework each night will now be to practice 3 kindergarten sight words (for at least 10 minutes) and to listen to or read a book. Please use the previous week's sight word test to determine which words your child needs to practice. After practicing the words please have your child record the words on the log sheet. An adult may write down the name of the book you read. Also, I do not need the homework to be turned in until the last day of the week.
This week we will work on letters P, Q, R, S, and words "he, and, at". Please review these skills at home.
In math, we will finish up sorting, We are pretty good at sorting by size, shape, color, and number.
We are also working hard in Writer's Workshop. We are learning to tell our stories using our pictures and words. Please ask your child how to stretch words. We are practicing this daily and many students are beginning to record the sounds they hear on their own. This is an important skill!!

Good Afternoon,
Friday's field trip was a lot of fun! It was warm and everyone was tired by the end but it was huge success. Thank you to the many adults that joined us. We could have done it without you!
This week we have library on Tuesday and P.E. on Wednesday.
This week we will begin a new chapter in math. We are working on sorting/classifying objects based on size, shape, and color.
This week's letter are M, N, O. Please review these letters as well as our sight words every night with your child. Our sight word test will be on Thursday this week since there is no school on Friday.
In Writer's Workshop we are learning how important it is to have lots of details in our pictures. This helps our reader understand more about our story.
We will also meet our third grade buddy on Wednesday or Thursday this week!

Good Morning!
I hope everyone enjoyed their three day weekend. I am really looking forward to some cooler weather this week!
Tonight is the first SPTG meeting at 6:45. Teachers will be here to supervise children on the playground.
This week we will work on the letter G, H, and I. Please look through your child's Sappington folder with him/her EVERY night. Ask your child what letter we worked on today. If they are not able to identify the letter please review/practice with them.
It is also important that your child is writing their name the Kindergarten way. One capital only! We are working on this every day,
If your child turned in homework on Friday I have checked it and returned it in their backpack today. If they didn't turn it in I will get it this Friday. Please do not write in the homework packet for your child. It is really important that your child do the writing. Also, please be sure to practice sight words and read to/with your child each night. I have one homework packet that was turned in without a name. If you think it is yours please let me know.
If you noticed during homework that your child is having difficulty using scissors please practice this at home. We do a lot of cutting and gluing here at school and scissor use can be very frustrating for a child that has not used scissors much. Just draw some basic lines/shapes on paper for your child to cut out. This practice will be very helpful for your child.
This week library is on Tuesday and P.E. is on Wednesday and Friday.
