Progress reports sent home today!
At this point your child should be able to write and recognize their name. Count to 30 by ones, identify 11 numbers, and 26 letters. If your child is not able to do this it is very important that you are working with them at home as well.
We have being working very hard learning about daily five and all the choices we will be able to make. Your child now knows what read to self, read to someone, listening to reading, word work, and work on writing looks like and what their job is. We will be starting daily five very soon!
We launched Writers Workshop this week. We talked about three ways to tell a story, which are: use spoken words, draw a picture, write words and sentences. This week we practiced telling a story using our spoken words. We will spend the next several weeks using pictures to tell stories.
We finished number writing today and will start math centers on Monday. These worked very well last year and allowed students to work at their own level and pace. We have heard great things from the 1st grade teachers already!
We are still working on a letter a day and will be finishing this up with in the next few weeks. Your child should be able to read and recognize the following words: I, a, go, we, see. On Monday I will be sending home our kindergarten words broken up into which quarter we introduce them.
Grandparents Day Tip: Have them arrive a little before 9:00 to get pictures taken.
Have a wonderful weekend. RDP!
