          THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE NICE GIFTS, CARDS, AND REMEMBRANCES!  I APPRECIATE EACH OF YOU AND YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS!
         Happy New Year!  I hope that you had an enjoyable, relaxing, Christmas break!  January will be a great learning time for us in kindergarten.  Your children are progressing nicely and the support at home is very beneficial.  Please remember to send back the December reading calendar filled in and signed. 
         We will be reviewing skills in preparation for the DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) assessment that begins in a little over a week.  These skills include:  letter recognition, beginning sounds, nonsense words (for example: ig, xup, taf) and segmenting words (for example: the tester says, “Tell me each sound you hear in “hat” and the student would say h/a/t.  Each portion of the assessment is timed for one minute. 
         Thanks again for all you do to help ensure your child is having a successful school experience.  You truly make a difference!
