Tips
v Have
your child practice writing their name at home to help improve their skill in
this area.
v We
are starting to work on the letters and sounds so working on these too will
help.
Reading
We started our work on the Daily 5 this week. The Daily 5 will be our reading time
this year. There are 5 centers
that the kids will be doing during this time while I will be meeting with
groups of kids to work on different reading skills. There will be more information about this Daily 5 in the
Spartan Scoop for September be sure to check it out. We have been working on the 3 ways to read a book: read the
pictures, read the words, and retell the story. Then we began 1 of our 5 centers in the Daily 5. We started Read to Self. We worked hard to increase the amount
of minutes we can read to self this week.
Ask your child how many minutes we are up to.
Math
This was the beginning of our math in
Kindergarten. We are very excited
about all the fun things we have done.
We began by talking about positional words then did a lot of activities
with left and right, moving on to same and different, then did some sorting,
and finally began our work with patterns!
Writing
We worked hard on our handwriting this week. We worked on our letters. All of these papers we practiced with
came home throughout the week.
Please continue to work on all of the letters with your child as we
progress in our writing skills.
