November went by so very quickly. I hope you all enjoy
your family and friends during this holiday season. Have a Happy
Thanksgiving! Let's remember to be grateful. I would like you all
to know how grateful I am for your sweet children. They make me laugh
every day and once in awhile make me want to cry, hehehaha! Thanks for
sharing them with me each day.
REMEMBER November:
- Language Arts and Math Practice
We have learned the entire
alphabet and all letter sounds. We have had FUN learning the letters of the alphabet.
Letter Ee is for Ear and Egg
Please make sure your child is able
to recognize and name all letters in RANDOM order. Also, each child
should know the letter sounds including long and short vowel sounds.
Y is for YAM, Yucky and Yummy
I am not sure that I believe that these Y-Y-Y yams taste that good.
OR YUMMY?
Here are the class graph results.
Z is for Zebra
U is for /u/ /u/ umbrella
21
Sight words have also been taught and your child should be reading them
fluently in random order and be able to find them in books and other
text.
Also, please continue to read every day with your child.
Congratulations to Jaden Sherman and Aubrey Bennett for moving up a level on RAZkids. They are now reading Level B books. When your child completes a level please remind them to tell me and then I will assess their level again in class and move them up or have them repeat a level for increased fluency. All Kindergarten students should be able to read Level D books by May.
We will begin our Unit 3 Language Arts Assessment next week and
I will be sending the completed assessment by Winter Break. Also, we will
be completing our assessment about shapes too.
This was an exciting week because Mr. U (Enzo) and Miss Q (Jayci)
were joined together by Mr. Rempfer the officiator in AlphabetLand
for this wedding of the year! All the Kinder Eagles enjoyed the
celebration. This wedding will be part of the end of the year video.
We had such a great time and I think they will remember that
"qu" are always together in words. Thanks again parents for
your support.
- WTW Spelling
Sorts
We will have 3 spelling sorts this month on December 2nd,
9th and 16th. Please help your child each week by cutting, sorting and
writing the letters or words depending on which level of sort they are
currently studying. I am so pleased with the progress each child is
making! Please continue to support their progress.
- Mathematicians
Your student should be able to identify, name and write numbers 0-10 fluently.
We have also been studying and learning about 2-D (flat) shapes and 3-D (solid shapes) for a few weeks and we will have a few review days and the Unit 5 Math Test will be given on November 30th. Please continue to practice naming and identifying these shapes.
Working in cooperative Learning groups to create a NEW shape with given shapes.
Mouse
Butterfly
Here is the transfer of learning from our recent science unit about the Day and Night Sky. The kiddos made the sun, moon, earth and another planet of the solar system. Great Thinking!
Snowman
Caterpillar
Ice cream cone
