2nd week updates!

Happy Second week of Kindergarten! The boys and girls had a very busy week last week and I know they slept well every night :) Hopefully this weekend they have gotten plenty of rest for the busy week ahead! 

What are we doing this week?

Literacy- We will be launching Daily 5! We will be learning about our special gathering spots, 3 ways to read a book, where we sit in the room to read and all about building our Stamina! Be ready to ask and hear all about Daily 5 this week! There will also be papers going home throughout the "launch" to help you, as parents, better understand the program. 

We will also meet more Letterland friends! We are having so much fun traveling to letter land! Ask your child which friends we have already met! 

Our sight words start this week. Please practice them at home every night. The students are expected to know these words and how they are spelled. The more time you put in to helping them learn them, the more successful they will be in the classroom during writing time and mini lessons in Daily 5.

Writing-  We will be launching Writer's Workshop! We will learn all about our writing materials (pencils, crayons, writing folders and writing offices), we will learn how to draw and  label our stories.

Math- We will continue to learn our quick practice routine of learning all about numbers. We will also continue to work on learning all about groups of numbers and counting!

Science- We will begin our unit on the 5 senses. We will talk about what our five senses are and how we might use them!

Social Studies-   We will continue to talk about rules and procedures in our classroom and our school.

-A few reminders-

• Please remember to sign up for Remind so that you can get quick updates and reminders right to your phone!  (info on how to sign up is below in another blog post)
• Our snack calendar starts up this week, don't forget on your day to please send in snack for 21 hungry Kindergarteners! Please do not send in juice or napkins. The boys and girls will have water to drink and we have plenty of paper towels
• Weekly homework will be starting up soon. For now, have your students get familiar with reading every night. They can also begin to learn their weekly sight words!

Thank you so much for making this first week a huge success! All of your kiddos are a such joy and I can't wait for all that is to come this year. Again, don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have! 

Yay!
