Reading
· This week we began working on the letters of the alphabet and their sounds. We learned lots of songs to help us remember the letters names and sounds.
· We also began our Daily Five launch. Dean Road uses Daily Five during its literacy block. This week we began building our stamina for read to self. Your amazing little people did a great job!
Math
· This week we worked on writing our numbers correctly.
· We also began our math centers. The children practiced rotating using different manipulatives and doing math journal sheets. This week they counted the letters in their names and filled in an August calendar.
Writing
The week we have been writing our kindergarten books. We are writing about different aspects of our day.
We are working all together to practice segmenting and writing letters. This has helped boost the children’s confidence in their writing. We will continue these journals for the next week and a half and then will begin the process of independent journal writing.
Next Week
Next week we will continue learning about the alphabet and we will learn about community helpers. If you have a job that you would like to share about with our class please email me.
Classroom Needs
· Old Magazines (we will take as many as you are willing to send in)
FYI
· Beginning Monday your child can choose between the main entrée and a box lunch. Please let your child look at their choices each morning and decide what they would like. Please remind them of what they want to order before school so that we will send an accurate count to the lunchroom. Thank you so much for your time and patience with this change .
· Free and reduced lunch forms can be found on the school website. If needed please complete this by Sept. 11.
Homework
· Please help your child complete their job application for classroom jobs. This is due back on Wednesday August 27.
· You will find a Count on Reading Log. Please work with your child to complete this log sometime during the year If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
