Wednesday

I hope everyone had a great holiday!

This week we are learning about the letter a. We are learning the correct way to write it as well as some things that start with the letter a. We are also getting to make some fun apple projects. We will be learning about apples for the next two weeks and will even get to paint with apples!

We will also be continuing numbers 0-5 but adding 6-10. Students should be able to write the numbers 0-10 and be able to count that many objects. We are doing lots of fun counting activities to help us learn this!

We also have lots of new songs under our belts. Ask your student if they can sing you their favorite!

Remember, homework is due on Friday! A new packet will go home Friday as well. I am looking forward to seeing all the hard work everyone did on their homework packets.

We had our first spelling test yesterday and everyone did great. I still had a few students struggle with their sight words. Please make sure you are spelling these orally at home so they can get 100% next time.

Please make sure you have marked on your calendar about the upcoming days off in October. Only AM students will come on Thursday October 7th, there will be no kinder express that day. All students need to be picked up at 11:15am. Only PM students will come Friday October 8th. This means only those students in kinder express will come to school from 8:15 - 11:15. There is no school from October 11 - 15th.

Progress reports will go home on Friday. Please understand that this is only the first four weeks of kindergarten and everyone is still learning. Don't be shocked if the scores are not where you would like them to be. Everyone is doing a great job of progressing and we will be able to see the growth between this progress report and the next. If you have questions on your progress report please don't hesitate to ask!

I hope everyone has a great week.
