Hello Bobcats!

There was excitement on the playground August 5th as we began our first day of the school year at Robles Elementary! Students, staff and families are delighted to see each other, interact and prepare for the learning ahead. This year will be a year of accelerated learning, helping students gain confidence and knowledge as we move forward with growth for all children. Please take a moment to read about our Kindergarten classes and how Robles teachers are preparing students to become lifelong learners!

Sincerely,

Lori Conner, Principal

Welcome back! Our Kinder Bobcats are back and have done an exceptional job in their transition back into the classroom. We have kicked off the school year by learning and reviewing one letter per day, and our students have really focused on using their ears and background knowledge to identify beginning sounds in pictures and matching those pictures with the correct letters. Our littles are always practicing how to correctly write their name, learn about the difference between a letter and a word, and will begin identifying and learning about high-frequency words soon! We have begun using literacy centers for our students to strengthen their cooperative learning skills, teamwork, and peer mentoring for the support of skills needed in their life journey. We are excited to begin putting three letters together and sounding out reading simple words in the near future. Kindergarten is a magical grade and our Bobcats will continue to strive and show amazing progress with the hard work and focus as they continue to offer!

Our little mathematicians are learning 1-5 through counting by quantity and number recognition. These shining ones can tell that numbers are for counting. They enjoy our Math block by practicing how to correctly write numbers, count with our different manipulatives with the use of our 5 Frames, and sing and dance with number songs. Our little Bobcats are enjoying learning while doing! Throughout the year, Kindergarten students will be learning and counting more numbers, adding and subtracting, and a lot more, as we help and support them unmask their potentials with hats off in finishing kindergarten.

Let’s go Bobcats!
