Monday Message


Good Morning!
I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend again!
Here's what is coming up this week.

We will be wrapping up the first rotation of the alphabet with letters X,Y, and Z. Your child should be able to identify and write the letters of the alphabet. They should also know most of the sounds of these letters.
This week's sight words are she, go, this. Please remember to practice sight words and read with your child every night.
In Math, we are currently working on numbers 0-10. We are practicing writing the numbers, singing the number songs, and counting objects to 10.
In reading, we have learned the importance of using our Eagle Eye. Our Eagle Eye helps us look very closely at the picture in order to figure out unknown words.
        Writer's Workshop is going well and seems to be a favorite part of the day for many students.  We are learning how to tell our story and put it on our paper using pictures and words.  Some students are are beginning to sound spell unknown words on their own.  A couple are even attempting sentences by themselves.  This is awesome!
If you have not returned the field trip note for Stuckmeyer's please do so as soon as possible. Also, we are still in need of several parents to join us for our trip. Please consider joining us.
Conferences are coming up in just a couple weeks. Most of you signed up for a conference during meet the teacher night. If you have not signed up you will receive a letter soon. If you have already signed up you will receive a reminder note soon as well.

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!!
