We have had another great week in Kindergarten!
Update
We are so excited to welcome a new student, Taishaun. We are also happy that we were able to reschedule our library time from Friday to Thursday. (This means that the kids do not need to go directly from library to PE...therefore losing all the books in transit.) An updated information sheet will go home in folders on Monday reflecting these changes. Please change these in your plastic sleeve.
Homework
Our first "homework" assignment will go home on Monday. It is an all about me poster. Details will go home in the folder. We will laminate these and turn them into a big class book. Your child will get his/her page back at the end of the year.
Routines
Thanks for helping your child remember to bring folders back and forth every day! Starting next week we will be sending home our CLASS behavior report. Once we get used to this routine we will send home your child's individual daily report.
Reading
We are working on getting our book boxes and going to our special reading spots. Next week we will be learning about characters and setting.
Writing
The students are working hard on getting their ideas on paper. I love seeing their stories!
Math
We work every day on our calendar routine. During this routine we work on shapes, counting, writing numbers, patterns, and even place value!
Student Teacher
Ms. Caitlin Coffey will be joining our class this year. She is an education student at Elmhurst College. She worked with me last year once a week observing and leading some simple lessons. This year she will join us once a week in the fall and will increase her hours until she joins us full time for 8 weeks starting in March.
Back to School Party
If your child has any energy left, I would encourage you to go to the back to school party on Friday. I can only be there for the first few minutes so come early!
