Kinder Update

Tomorrow is our first Early Release!!

Early Release Schedule:

Starts:  8:35

Lunch:  10:30

Dismissal:  12:30

We had a great week!  The Kinders make me so happy:)   They love learning the letters names and sounds and adding sign language.  We studied the letters E, F, G, and H this week.  We also worked on the numbers 3 and 4.  Tomorrow we will work on a Chicka, Chicka, Boom Boom activity counting the letters in our name!  Fun:))

Thank you so much for all your help at home with Name Writing.  It is difficult in the beginning of the year to form each letter using the correct letter formation.  With continued practice they will get better.  Be patient:)

Next Tuesday, September 27th, is Parent Info. night in Room 2 from 6:30-7:15. We will be going over curriculum, volunteers, our classroom website, and our monthly Read Alouds.

Picture day is Coming up Next week on Thursday, September 29th:)

 
Have a Great Weekend and READ, READ, READ!!!

Happy First Full Week of Kindergarten

Today your child is bringing home their poetry folder.  Please listen to your child recite the poems, Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear and the Number 1 poem."  Please bring Poetry Folders back to school every MONDAY.  We will be adding a new poem each week.

 I  do not send homework folders on Friday.  I will send home their Homework folders on Monday through Thursday.  Next week we will begin to work on writing their name the " school way".  Name writing can be very difficult in the beginning of the school year.  Please be patient with your child as they are learning this skill.

Sharing Begins Next Week

 

Please help your child find a sharing that begins with any letter of the alphabet.  Please have them put it in a paper sack and write three clues on the outside of the bag.  They have a great time guessing their friends sharing.  This is a great way to encourage oral language. 

• For Example:

1. It starts with the letter R
2. I found it on the road
3. It is very hard.

If you guessed a ROCK you are right:)

We have been working very hard learning lots of new skills and routines

• Classroom Rules  (ask your child about the rules)
• writing the numbers 1 and 2 
• writing the letter and word I
• Counting to 20 and backwards from 10
• our ABC sign language song.  (ask your child to show you the hand signs for the letters ABC and D
• using how to use glue
• taking turns 
• sharing
• Nursery Rhymes

Thanks again for all your support helping make this year a wonderful kindergarten year:)

Please sign up for the Remind app.  This remind text message will inform you of upcoming news.  Thanks Again and Have a Wonderful Weekend:)

Happy First Day of Kindergarten

Welcome to Kindergarten

Class of 2029

Please look through your child's backpack today and find these important papers:)

We had a wonderful first full day of kindergarten.  I was so excited to meet your children and be their Kindergarten teacher this year.  There was LOTS of learning going on today.  We reviewed rules, routines and enjoyed visiting the library.

Here are a few important reminders and things to consider...

Your child is bringing home their “HOMEWORK FOLDER” home today!!  There is A LOT of important information inside. 

Please check backpacks daily for important information. 

Please return the student information page ASAP.  And please sign up for Remind-a free, private texting service that I use to communicate with families.

-please donate a snack for our classroom each month.  We would love to start having a snack in the afternoons.  If each family donates one box of crackers, bag of raisins, etc. each month then we should have plenty to share every day.

-if your child would like to get a milk with cold lunch, just make sure you put money into their account.

Today we learned how to line up and walk down the hall in a line!

We also started a special book about nursery rhymes.  Today we learned Jack Be Nimble.  Each day this week we will do an art project centered around the Nursery Rhyme unit.

Remember doors open at 8:25 the bell rings at 8:35, hang up coats/backpack, put cold lunches in the bin and grab a book to read/ enjoy and sit on the rug.

See you tomorrow! 

We are going to have a

WONDERFUL KINDERGARTEN YEAR!!
