Kinder Review

Literacy Corner
This week was just as great!!! We completed our unit on learning the letters in Letterland. The students have done an awesome job!!! To conclude the unit the class has decided to have a Letterlander Parade. You should find information on the parade and the character that your child chose to be in their communicators this Friday. We also learned new sight words. The students are picking up their words so beautifully, which is awesome because they will see the sight words in almost everything that they read. Our theme for the week was on Presidents. We learned about two very important Presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The students also put themselves in the shoes of Presidents, writing about what they would do if they were president. Their writing skills are also improving!!! We are very pleased with their progress in these skills. We also learned about dental health, how our teeth are like the teeth of animals, as well as the parts of a tooth.
Next week we will review all Letterlanders and introduce a new sight word. Our thematic unit for the week will be Black History and community helpers.
Math Lab
Next week we will continue working on composing and decomposing numbers.
Parental FYI and Reminders
Please review the expectations with your child at home. We have been having a lot of students talking while the teacher is talking and interrupting during instructional time. Instructional time is a time when the teachers is able to get information to the students, with students blurting out information that is not correct, it can be confusing. Please talk to your child about the importance of listening to the information being taught.
Please remember to send in your child's snack money of $2.00 a week. Sending the money in monthly installments helps Ms. Lytle a great deal. It also helps her spend less time on receipting money and more time on working with students in the classroom.
Tying our shoes is very important. It is even more important that your child knows how to tie their own shoe. Please help your child tie their shoelaces. When they are able to, they can add their name to our shoe tying chart and receive a treat from me. Below are some videos to help you help your child tie their shoes. Please choose the one that works best for your child.
