Kid Writing!

Everyone is doing a wonderful job kid writing!  Ask your child what they write about each day in school and encourage them to write at home. When writing with your child, remind them to start their sentence on the left side of the page.  Their journals have a little star indicating where they should start so you could also do that at home. Encourage them to leave spaces between their words and use punctuation at the end of the sentence.  You may also want to have the alphabet flashcards and sight words flashcards out for your child to use while they write. Please contact me if you have any questions about our kid writing process!

Literacy Centers!

Fun in Kindergarten!

This week we started math centers!  They did a great job working in teams to complete the activities.  We continued learning about numbers 0-5. Please practice writing numbers 0-5.  We will have a test next week!

We also started science lessons and learned about making observations.

We had Pajama Day for earning 10 golden tickets for HERO behavior. Keep up the good work!

Today we shared learning boxes! Things to store in the box-- sight words, ABC flashcards number flashcards and the little tan readers that come home on Friday.  Students should practice some of the activities in the box on the nights we do not have homework (or when they tell you they are bored- lol).

Enjoy the pictures!

SAVE THE DATE- Friday, October 6th from 9:15- 10:15 we will be inviting parents in for a Parent Workshop (more information will come home next week).

Week 2!

We are very busy this week!  We are learning about letters Aa-Hh. We are learning to identify them and we are learning the sounds they make.  We are reading and writing sight words- I, am.  This Friday will be the first weekly language arts test.  Please review it with your child over the weekend, sign it and return it Monday. 

In math we are learning about numbers 0-5.  Tomorrow we will start math centers!

Homework started this week.  Please make sure your child completes the homework neatly.  All writing should be done with a pencil and coloring should be done with crayon.

We started kid writing last week.  Everyone is doing a wonderful job writing in their new journals.  Please encourage your child to write at home!

Enjoy the pictures!

Our First Week!

We had a wonderful first week in Kindergarten.  I would say that everyone is adjusting well and settling down into our routines.  Next week we will get started with our core Language Art and Math curriculum.  This weekend please review letters Aa & Bb and sight words (I, am).  Continue to have your child practice writing his/her name. Please email me at sharkazv@nasdschools.org if you have any questions or concerns.  Enjoy the weekend!
