For Reading we began with the story, The Little School Bus. A Family Times newsletter was sent home with details about the story and skills we will be working on. Please review the Amazing words, the ordinal numbers, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, letter recognition of letters Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, and Ee, the story element “character”, and the high frequency words I & am.
Continue to check your child’s communication folder daily. Items on the KEEP side need to be removed at home. Any money, notes, or items for the teacher to see NEED to be in your child’s folder. Mrs.Kaminsky doesn’t look through book bags---only the folders!
The September Scholastic Book orders are due by Friday, Sept. 13th. Orders can be placed online at www.scholastic.com/readingclub or send in orders and money to the teacher—cash or check made payable to Scholastic.
Try to make sure your child has his/her bus tag every day. The end of the day can be hectic and some children don’t know their bus numbers yet!
Keep practicing your child’s 5-digit number and begin practicing daily sight words!! The first list won’t be tested for at least a week or two!!
I hope everyone enjoyed their first week of kindergarten!
