Friday Note 9-12-14

Events of the Week: This week we read The Pledge of Allegiance and learned about our flag. We learned our school pledge and talked about respect. The letters “Tt” and “Gg” were our letters of the week.  We worked on identifying each letter, the sound it makes, and practiced writing it.  In math we finished our unit on position and location of shapes.

 We are starting to work on reciting our phone numbers, addresses, and birthdays.   Please practice with your child at home on these.   These will be on the grade card when I assess your child in October. 

SIGHTWORDS

Has your child said anything about sight words??  In kindergarten, we learn sight words.  These are common words that tend to “pop up” all over the place.  By mastering words, such as our sight words, children become more fluent readers.  Also, it is so much fun to see the boys and girls get excited when they find a sight word in a book and can read it!  These are the sight words we have learned so far.  Your child should be able to read each of these words.  Please practice them at home with your child.

I am sending home your child’s sorting assessments today.  Please take time to look it over and work with your child at home if he/she needs continued practice on this skill.  Thanks!
