Kindergarten

We will learn to write h, k, v, w,  and x as well as their names and sounds! We will continue segmenting (identifying the individual sounds within a word) and spelling nonsense words. We will continue reading groups where students take turns reading to their partner!!!

In Texas, students need to be at school for at least 90% of the school year in order to be promoted to the next grade. Coming to school every day is so important—each day builds on the last, and when your child is here, they don’t miss out on the learning and fun happening in class!

We take attendance each day at 10:05 a.m. If your child has a doctor’s appointment, it really helps if you can schedule it after that time so they can still be counted present.

Thank you for working with us to help your child grow and succeed! 💛

We will be finishing up Unit 2 this week by talking about how coverings on animals help them to survive. We will start to learn about plants and the different parts they have and a plants life cycle.

We will have Science this week.

The poem for September-October is "Gathering leaves" by Robert Frost. We will recite during assembly and have individual recitation tests Oct. 6. You are welcome to come in the gym to watch them recite! Please make sure to park in the parking lot in front of the playground.

The kids did amazing on their last recitation. I noticed some students did not memorize their saying along with the poem. Please make sure the practice the sayings for the month at home as well.

We will be reading fun stories like  The Lion and the Mouse and Tug- of-War this week!

Continue to keep reading to your kids each night as this encourages imagination and helps them to understand that sounds make up words and words make up  stories. 

Please look at the homework log in your child's red take home folder to see the homework for each day.

Your child is reading to you now! Do not worry about if your child finishes the book. Just set a timer for 30 minutes and put a bookmark in the book when the timer goes off. Please initial on the phonics readers list by the book you read so I know which book to send home next. Fridays will be for reading on Reading A-Z. 

Don't forget to write in the reading log. The code is what question you pick from the list of questions and just write the answer your child told you.

A calendar will be sent in the red take home folder. Please look at your child's color daily and initial on it so I know you saw it. If the color is below green I will use a code to explain why. The codes are on the bottom of the calendar and explain the situation. If the child went home on red I will give you a call or email. If it becomes a recurring situation where the student goes home below green we will set up a meeting.

If homework is not completed by the morning it is due the child will start their day on yellow on the color chart.

Binders will be sent home the 25th. Please sign and return.

If you have not already signed up for a parent meeting, please reach out. We would love to talk about how your kiddo is doing!
