Kindergarten Rocks!
2016-2017
What we are doing next week (September 26th-30th)
Please continue to review all academics at home so your child is aware what we do in the classroom and this will keep you up to date on everything we do in our room.
Word Work: We will be beginning our sight words: me, am, the, yellow. These are our "snap" words. Our words that we read in a snap or very quickly without sounding out. We will be singing songs and playing sight words games to help us better understand our sight words. We also will be continuing to review rhyming words.
Writing Workshop: During writing time we will be going back to our writing paper and discussing a good topic to write about. I will model the beginning of my writing by discussing how I space in between all my words, using capitalization and punctuation.
Math Workshop: We will be continuing patterns this week. We will be working with our table friends by making a pattern on the chart paper. We then will go to other tables and make another pattern using shapes, colors, paper clips, manipulatives, etc. We will also discuss number patterns and continuing our math problems using out math positional words.

Reminders
*Wednesday and Thursday are EARLY RELEASE DAYS this means that schools will end at 12:15. Please make sure there is someone at the bus stop to pick up your child.
*Sight word folders (red/pink) will begin next Monday. Please work on this every night with your child and return on Fridays. The folders begin with recognizing letters, letter sounds, sight words (by sight), reading sentences. Some of the letters/sight words are already highlighted these are the ones your child already knows. I will highlight the pages PLEASE do not write or mark anywhere on the pages.
*Continue to return reading logs on Monday and no later than Tuesday mornings.
*We will be going to the Book Fair to browse books and we will be writing down a list of books that we are interested in. This list will come home with your child just to give you ideas about what your child saw and was interested in reading. We will browse on the 26th and we will go shopping on the 30th at 1:30.
Please make sure you label the check/cash that you send in your child's folder if you wish for them to buy books.
* This week is different because we have conferences on Wednesday and Thursday. We will not be going into the Media Center to check out books because the book fair is going on in there.
Looking forward to all the conferences!!
Thank you parents for all of your support!! :)
