Thursday Thoughts!

Happy Thursday!  I will be sending the September Newsletter out tomorrow.  I know...I can't believe it is already September.  A big CONGRATS to Wyatt and Jaylee on becoming members of the 100's Club!  Way to go!!!  Also, if you wish to practice handwriting at home, here is a link to a great printable site.  Handwriting Printables.  Don't forget to check out our pictures page and have a great holiday break!

Update!

It is so crazy how time flies here at school! I cannot believe we have already been here almost three whole weeks. We are finally getting into the swing of things, and we aren't looking back! This week we have been learning about the letter O and the /o/ sound. We even had octopus stew today at snack. In math, we are learning about the numbers 1 and 2, same and not the same, and also writing the numbers 1 and 2. We have realized that to know "how many" there are, we must COUNT them. Please visit our pictures to see some of the fun things we are doing here in Kindergarten. Reminder: please practice Snappy Words at home each night. Also every Monday night, please have your kiddo read their pre-decodable book to you. Don't forget to date and initial that you practiced. I know that with teamwork, we will have successful students here at school. Below I have provided a few videos that you can watch at home to help practice some of your Snappy Words. ENJOY!

Week 2

We made it!  We have completed one full week of Kindergarten!!!  We are still getting in the routine of things, but we are doing very well.  This week we are learning the letter L.  We have many fun activities planned and I know the kids will have a blast.  This week we will begin learning our "Snappy Words!"  These are the high-frequency words that students need to know by sight.  Each student will have a small box that contains their "Snappy Words" on flash cards.  These cards will be on a ring.  Each week, we will add new words.  Please practice these EVERY night, then place them back in your child's backpack.  Thanks so much.  I am really having a ball working with each and every child in my classroom!!!!
