Alphabet Chant!

We recorded our first podcast today!  Please check it out!

Fun With Patterns!

Today we continued working on creating patterns.  Please review AB, AAB, ABB, and ABC patterns at home with your child.

Have a great night!

Kid Writing Fun!

What fabulous writers we have in kindergarten!  Each week we are becoming better and better at writing complete sentences.  This week we are writing about the story "Miss Bindergarten takes a Field Trip with Kindergarten."

When writing with your child at home please remind them to- start at the left side of the paper, capitalize only the first letter of the sentence, leave spaces between the words, and put punctuation at the end of the sentence!  Have their sight words available to help them with their sentence. 

Please contact me if you have any questions!

Learning Center Fun!

This was our first week of learning center activities! We focused on letter and number identification at the math and word work centers.  At the writing center we practiced writing our first name.  The students loved working at the technology center where they had an opportunity to work with iPads and laptops.  At the guided reading center we read leveled and decodable readers and we reviewed letter sounds and sight words.

Please continue to practice letter identification and letter sounds at home with your child.  Also review syllables, rhyming words, and sight words!  Ask your child to sing our alphabet chant for you!  They are getting so good at it!  Next week we will record our first podcast and it will be us singing the alphabet chant!

As always, thank you for your support and cooperation! We are off to a great start this year! Please contact me with any questions or concerns at 610-837-1833 X19146 or sharkazv@nasdschools.org.

Enjoy your weekend!

This Week!

This week in Language Arts we will be working on the letters and sounds A-S.  Please continue to have your child identify these letters and name the sound that each letter makes.  Feel free to ask your child to sing the alphabet chant that we have been practicing in school!  We will also be reviewing the sight words- I, am, little, the.  We will continue working on rhyming words and syllables.  Please remember to save the tan reading booklets that have been coming home on Friday.  You can use these booklets to help your child practice reading.

In Math we will be having a test on Thursday.  Please review the following skills at home to help your child prepare for the test- top, middle, bottom, left, right, over, under, above, below, in, out and sorting by color, shape, and size.

As always please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!

Thanks for your support and cooperation!

Math Fun!

Today we started chapter 1 in Math- Spatial Relationships.  Our first lesson was all about the terms- top, middle, bottom.  We used the interactive whiteboard at the end of the lesson to practice drawing shapes on the top, middle and bottom of the picture.

Today we practiced writing letter Dd.  Please have your child practice writing letters Aa-Dd at home along with their first name.  Remember that the first letter in their name should be capital and the rest should be lowercase.

We reviewed the sound for letter A today and we learned the sound for letter B.  Please review these sounds at home each night.  You can also ask your child to sing the alphabet chant for you!  They only know 2 letters from the chant, but by the end of the month they will know the whole thing!
