Monday Things to Know:

Week of September 7th-11th:

Reading: We will start our Start Smart week in our Wonders Reading Series. We will enjoy listening to nursery rhymes while practicing how to identify the number of words in a sentence. We will also have fun identifying words that rhyme as we listen! We will learn, identify, and practice writing the letters Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, and Ff. Students will work on recognizing both uppercase and lowercase letters and developing proper letter formation. We will practice reading, writing, and spelling the sight word “I.” Students will build confidence recognizing and using this important sight word in their reading and writing. We will also be learning all about our first names! Students will practice identifying and writing their names, counting the number of letters in their names, and developing proper kindergarten-style handwriting and letter formation.

Sight words: I

Math: We will build our number sense skills by counting, recognizing, identifying, and writing numbers 0–5. Students will practice counting objects, matching quantities to numerals, comparing groups to identify which has the most, and writing numbers in the correct order.

Handwriting: We will be working on our FIRST names Kindergarten style. A capital letter at the beginning of our name and the rest lowercase. (ie. Deirdre Callinan).

Religion: We will learn that God created each and every one of us and loves us very much. Students will discover that they are special and wonderfully made by God. We will also share our “All About Me” Bags to learn more about our classmates and celebrate what makes each of us unique.

Social Studies: We will continue enjoying a variety of stories while learning about classroom rules and expectations. Students will practice identifying, explaining, and demonstrating safe, respectful, and responsible choices throughout the school day.

Dear families,

This year, our class is excited to read with Scholastic Book Clubs! It’s a great way to build up your child’s book collection at home and help them improve their reading skills. And when you shop with Clubs, your orders earn points I can redeem for books and other classroom supplies we need.

Here’s how it works: I’ll send home flyers like these throughout the year. If you decide to place an order, you can do that through our class ordering page. Your books will arrive at school about 10 days after I submit our classroom order.

By teaming up with Scholastic, we’ll help your child become a more confident, independent reader—and we’ll build a classroom library all of my students are excited to explore!

Order due date: 09/30/25

Happy reading!
