Early Release Tomorrow.




Tomorrow is our first Early Release Day.  Here is the kindergarten hours for tomorrow.
Starts:  8:35
Lunch:   10:30
Dismissal:  12:30

Picture Day is Thursday, September 28th. I sent home information about picture day in folders yesterday.


Please keep practicing their name writing!  It takes lot of practice to develop good pencil grips and letter formation.   Thank you with your support at home with name writing.

Sharing
Next week your child can bring in a sharing on their sharing day.  Please remember to put the sharing in a bag and write 3 clues on the outside of the bag, so the students can guess what’s inside. 


Have your child practice counting to 10 daily.  They can use their fingers to count.  


In writing we are busy collecting work samples at the beginning of the year, so we can compare the growth at the end of the year.


Have a wonderful weekend!

First Full Week

We had a wonderful week in Kindergarten!

   Upcoming:

On Monday I will send home your child's Homework folders for the first time.   I included a lot of information in their folders, so please check everyday.  I send folders home  Monday through Thursday.  I do not send homework folders home on Fridays.  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 Schedule will be in their Homework Folders
Sharing starts next week on Monday, September 25th.  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 
  • Counting to 20 and backwards from 10
  • 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 
  • Making Friends

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