Getting in the Groove

We are getting in the groove of school now!  This week we start Accelerated Reader tests.  Students will test each Thursday at this point in the year.  Please make sure you have read and discussed your child's library book.  We will get new books each Friday.  Check the agenda for the score each Thursday afternoon.  Also, continue to practice those sight words, letters, letter sounds, and counting 1 to 1.  Additionally, your child will be bringing home a sight word reader each Thursday.  This book will contain sight words from our 1st Quarter list.  Students have been practicing them all week, so they should ROCK IT OUT!  Looking forward to finishing off this week strong.  Go Rough Riders!
Finders hard at work!

Let the 2017-2018 Year Begin!

We have had a great first two days in kindergarten.  Please note that the kiddos have PE on every Monday and Wednesday.  Also, we have snack each day, so you are more than welcome to send a snack.  Want to help at home?  Practice number recognition to 10, identifying the letters of the alphabet, and writing our first names.  I will also be sending home a brown paper bag on Monday.  This bag is for Show & Tell on Friday.  Students will place 4-5 items inside that best describes them.  This will be a great way for us to get to know our classmates.  It's going to be a great week!
