Early Literacy Idea
After you read a story to your child, have him/her retell it to you with a beginning, middle and end.


Remember our reading goal is 15 minutes a night/five nights a week.  Please read to your child and have him/her read to you!  This is so important!  Thanks for all you do!

         It has been fun learning about hexagons, circles, squares, triangles and rectangles and how many vertices they have. 
         The students continue to practice their reading and writing skills and they are becoming quite the little readers and writers!  They can segment and blend words together and write sentences very well.
         A huge thank you to the PTA for the amazing pirate-themed reading celebration that we were able to participate in!     We have the best PTA! 
         We have been practicing for our program and are excited to present it to you on Wednesday, May 9th. It will begin at 6:00 PM.  The students need to be in Sunday dress and meet in the school library at 5:45.  Both AM and PM classes will be performing together.
         The last day of school is Wednesday, May 23rd.  All students will get to meet their first grade teacher for next year on this day.  In order for this to happen, we need all students to attend the morning session of kindergarten including those who normally attend the PM class.  We will meet from 8:50-10:50.  There is no Extended Day Kindergarten on this day.
