Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope everyone is getting back to their normal routines after the storm. I missed coming to school and seeing your Kindergarteners' smiling faces.
So far we have learned the letter sounds for Bb, Mm, and Tt. Next week we will learn the sound for the letter Ss. We will continue to work on listening for rhyming words, clapping out syllables, and separating sounds in words.
In our writing workshop, our young authors and illustrators are working on adding words to go along with their pictures. We will practice counting the words in sentences that we want to write and saying the words slowly to make sure we record the sounds we hear.
In math we will begin learning how to write the numbers 0-9. We will continue working on recognizing numbers 1-20 and counting by ones and tens to 100.
Next week we will be starting a unit on communities. We will be looking at a map of Oxford to see how most of the Kindergarteners are part of the Oxford community. We will also look at how the Kindergarteners who are "School Choice" students live in a different community.
Thank you so much for coming to conferences this past week. I truly enjoyed updating you on your child's progress as a Kindergarten student. Take care for now!
Sincerely,
Miss Knauer
