Learning and Growing Together
Language Workshop
Reading & Writing Workshop
In addition to building our reading stamina and increasing our knowledge of reading strategies, we have spent time strengthening our knowledge and use of letter sounds. We have been sorting words based on their beginning sound and then once we were successful with that, we worked on sorting words based on their ending sound. During both reading workshop and writing workshop, we are realizing the importance of letter sounds in our reading and our writing. We are working hard to become better readers and writers every day!
It is important for Kindergartners to master all 40 Kindergarten Sight Words so that they have a strong foundation for reading. The goal for this time of the year (the end of trimester 1) is for kindergartners to read 10 or more of the kindergarten high frequency words. How is your child doing with meeting this goal? Below you will find a list of all of the words we will be learning plus a few extra words that will come up in their reading. It never hurts to practice at home! :)

Winter clothing: your help is needed!
There are still some children who are unable to zip their own winter coats. If your child is not able to zip his/her own coat, then be sure that you are giving your child plenty of opportunities to practice this skill at home since they are expected to do this independently at school. (If you are the one that is zipping your child's coat at home, then your child will have trouble zipping his/her own coat at school.) Thanks for your assistance as we navigate the colder weather.
