What's happening in KA
Also, thanks for making Back-to-School night a success! We were thrilled to be able to share a little about what is going to be happening in Kindergarten this year. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about our curriculum.
And...your child's take home folders went home today with work and announcements in them. Please return folders to school Monday.

Math and Math Block:
In addition to our daily math lessons, we have Math Block once a week. This Friday was our first day of Math block. We are really looking forward to working in small, differentiated groups that allow our understanding of math deepen.
In Phonics we have been playing sorting games based upon syllables. We like to say a little jingle to help us work: ba-na-na. Can you say it? Ba-na-na. Can you clap it? Ba-na-na. Can you stomp it? Ba-na-na.

Meet Spike!
Dance with Ms. Siby
Greetings Parents! It has been a joy and pleasure to meet and teach KA dancers. We have been hard at work (and play), exploring the language of movement, through dance stories, poems and freestyle circles. Feel free to ask your child what they’ve learned in dance on Tuesday. They just might respond with a masterful performance!
Physical Education with Coach M!
Even when they are not in the gymnasium these kindergarteners want to practice their "pencil rocket ships" (jumping jax) and ABC push-ups at metrotech to continue getting stronger each day :)
