A PEEK AT OUR WEEK

We enjoyed our full days of Kindergarten this week! Kudos to your little ones for doing such a great job!
We continued to learn and practice our classroom routines. We also learned how to "check-in" on our Mood Meter and talk about our feelings.
We learned how to be "Bucket Fillers" in our classroom. A bucket filler is someone who says or does nice things for other people. When we fill someone's bucket, it makes them feel good and it makes us feel good, too!
We celebrated a special birthday. Happy Birthday, Olivia!
We had a new friend join our class. Welcome to our kindergarten crew, Armani!

PRACTICE AT HOME

FUNDATIONS

We met "Mama Echo" and "Baby Echo" and learned our special Fundations song. Ask your child to tell you about how we "wake up" Echo each day! This week, we learned how to use our writing grid that we will use to practice proper letter formation. In the first unit, we will learn how to identify lowercase letters and sounds.

This week we learned:

t, b, f

HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS

In Kindergarten, we will learn to identify and write high frequency words (sight words). We will also practicing using high frequency words in full sentences. For example, "I am ____ years old."

This week we learned:

I, am

MATH

In math, we started learning how to subitize. We can see a set and know how many. Try it out with the video below! We also began learning how to count and write numbers 0-3. Great work, Little Mathematicians!

WRITING

Students will be practicing writing their names on their classwork each day. Please encourage your child to use all lowercase letters for their name except the first letter. Happy Writing!

Please empty your child's folder each day after school!
