News

         Kindergarten is an awesome place to be!  We have covered the letters A-J so far in class.  Your child should be able to write both upper and lower case letters correctly and tell you what sound each letter makes.  We have a handwriting book, an “I Can Draw It” book, an alphabet book and a poetry binder that we use to help reinforce each letter name and sound. 

         

       We have also been working in our “GOMATH!” books and are learning about numerals 0-5, matching, cardinality, pairs, larger, fewer, and more.

        

       Remember during SEP Week, we will not be having appointments for kindergarten students because of our individual assessments in August. However, if you have any concerns and would like to meet together, I would love to do that.  Please just let me know. Students will be dismissed every day at 10:50 for the AM students and 2:30 for the PM students even on Wednesday for that week.  PM students attend from 12:30-2:30, not the usual 11:30-1:30.  Extended Day students will stay until 2:30 as well. 

        

 Thank you for your support and have a super week!
