Starting next week, we will be working on two sight words a week instead of one. Please practice sight words at home as well!
Remember that our Field Trip is Thursday October 23. Please bring a sack lunch that day as we will eat at the pumpkin patch. Also, there is no hot lunch on Friday October 24. Please pack a lunch on that day as well.
Every month we do a writing prompt. The scores for the writing prompt are averaged for their scores on the report card. I sent home the results for our writing prompt. By the end of kindergarten, students should score consistently at 8 or above. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I started sending home reading books. Please read with your child and then send back the next day in the Ziploc. I will assess the students throughout the year and move them up to the next level. These books may be easy initially, but it is to build confidence in "reading" and eliminate frustration.
As it is getting colder, remember to label all jackets and coats with your name. Children need a jacket in order to go outside and play!
Have a great week!
