We had a great first week of kindergarten! It was so much
fun getting to know each other with their Summer Sacks! I
hope the children are adjusting to their new schedule. Just a reminder to
make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and a healthy breakfast every
morning. It makes a big difference in their ability to learn each day.
Home Learn Folders
Your child’s blue Home Learn Folder will come home every MONDAY
and is due on THURSDAY (unless noted otherwise on the bookmark). Give
yourself a pat on the back if you remembered to turn it in this week! The children that turn theirs in (on time)
get to “clip-up”! We had lots of
children get to clip-up.
Please keep the follow things in mind when working on the
homework: Keep the
colored bookmark stapled to the packet of homework every week. Put a check
mark in the box next to each assignment as your child completes it. Please complete
ALL of the assignments each week.
The blue sight words that your child cut apart are to be kept in
the baggie at home. We will be adding to them all year so keep them in a
safe place and get them out often and practice reading them. If your
child can already read them then they can start writing sentences and
illustrating them. Ex. The cat. The
bed. Last week we worked on the word:
the. This week we will learn the word: my.
Each week the Home Learn packet is worth 10 points that goes on
your child’s homework grade. Points will be deducted for incomplete and
missing/late work.
Thank you for supporting your child as a learner in our class!
The Giving Tree THANK YOU to everyone for your wonderful classroom
donations! I will keep our Giving Tree next to or on our classroom door
throughout the year. It will have sticky notes with opportunities for
other donations on it. If you are looking to help our class with supplies
come by, check it out and take a sticky note.
We are especially in need of Play-Doh and treasures for our Treasure
Box.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 23rd is PICTURE DAY
Come looking your best in your uniform with a great big
smile! Please return the picture envelope if you plan on purchasing
pictures. ALL children will have their picture taken, however, there is
NO obligation to purchase any pictures. These pictures will be used for
their name tag, placed in our school year book and put on other class projects.
LAST WEEK… We
learned our CLASS RULES. We...
§ THINK
OBSERVE
MAKE GOOD
CHOICES
COOPERATE
§ Be PATIENT –
with ourselves and others
Talk to your child at home and ask them about our rules.
Point out times at home when they are doing them.
We are also working on the math attribute of sorting. We
are learning to sort objects that are identical, similar, or different into
sets.
“SNAP WORDS”
That is what we call the high frequency words we are learning in
kindergarten this year. Last week we
worked really hard to learn to read the word the. Have your child look for that word at
home. This week we will learn to read
the word my.
REMIND App
This is a way for me to send you messages on your phone
reminding you about important class information. Please sign up, today. On the blue contact page you received on the first day of school
I invited you to sign up for the REMIND App but the class code did not
work. PLEASE check your child’s Homework
Folder and you will see instructions on a purple note explaining how to sign up
(with the correct code). When
signing up do it in your child’s name.
