Early Literacy Idea

Help your child listen for sounds by

reading together rhymes, poetry, nursery rhymes, and stories that “play” with language.

News

      Kindergarten is a great place to be!  Your children are doing well and are making progress in every area of the curriculum.  I appreciate your support at home.  Thank you for your help with homework and reading nightly with your child.

         I would love it if you could help reinforce the fact that our names (with one or two exceptions) start with a capital and all the rest of the letters are lowercase.  Many of them are used to writing all capitals.  This is a hard habit to break, but with consistency both from home and at school, all of the students will have it mastered soon. 

         The routine and management skills are coming along nicely as well. These darling five and six year olds are settling into school and they are understanding the importance of not only doing their best but allowing others to do the same.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!

Early Literacy Idea

Help your child understand how books work by pointing to words to show left to right, spaces between words and word patterns.

News

      Thank you for sharing your children with me!  Each one has a special place in my heart already!  I love being with them each day and seeing them learn and grow!

         We have worked hard on establishing a routine and effective classroom management skills so optimal learning will occur with each child.  They are understanding more and more each day how we all work together, respect one another, and make smart choices.

         Our CKLA (literacy program) is working well as we continue to discover that the English language writing system represents sounds with letters.  They are realizing that sounds are combined to form words, which is important for both reading and writing.

         Your child should be able to form the numerals 1-4 correctly and understand the relationship between numbers and quantities.  For example, pairing each object they are counting with one and only one number name with one and only one object. 

         Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
