Thursday is Jean and Spirit Shirt Day.  All students are allowed to wear jeans and spirit shirts this Thursday, January 22.

The 3rd marking period begins this week and report cards are scheduled to go home on Thursday, January 29th.   Please keep in mind that this is a standards based report card and it is not your typical report card with “grades”.  Your child’s goal is to score a 3, or mastery of the standard, and if he/she has scored a 1 or 2 in any areas, then these are the areas that your child needs to strengthen and improve by the end of Kindergarten.  Only some of the standards are scored during the 2nd marking period, so if you see an N/A on the report card then these standards will be scored in the 3rd and/or 4th periods.  **Be sure to SIGN and RETURN the report card

Friday- Kk Show and Tell

Phonics- We will be working on the new letter Kk, as in kite and kangaroo. We are learning a new rule in Phonics for the letter “K” to help the children decide which letter to use when spelling words that have the /K/ sound. We learn “K” first because K always has the /K/ sound; c borrows the sound from k. The rule is that we spell the /K/ sound with letter k when the sound is followed by the letters e, I, or y. (example-keg, kid. and milky). We spell the /K/ sound with the letter “c” when the sound is followed by the letters a, o, u, or any consonant. Example cat, cot, cut, and clip.
Friday the boys will have an opportunity to be KINGS in honor of the letter Kk.  Girls will have a chance to  be QUEEN later in the year when we do the letter Qq.
          The second marking period will be ending by the third week of January and we will begin testing when we return from the holidays.  Students will be asked to identify and write numbers, count to 100 by 1s and 10s, identify and describe 2 & 3 dimensional shapes, identify capital and lowercase letters and identify their sounds, recognize and produce rhyming words, read high frequency sight words, blend 2, 3, and 4 letter words, identify parts of a book and the roles of the author and illustrator.  Please take some time at home to review these skills and concepts.
