Dear Parents,
I am looking forward to meeting with each and every one of you at Conference
time.
It is so
helpful to learn more about your child from your perspective.
We will soon be starting our third unit in Reading. My, the time is flying by!
This month in
Reading we will:
- continue to
review our letter recognition and letter sounds
- work on the
short vowel sounds for “a” and “i” words
- blend and
segment words
- begin to
substitute sounds in words
- continue to work
on beginning and ending sounds
-
work on the
concepts of comparing and contrasting
-
review the
concepts of characters, setting, and main idea
-
distinguish
between realism and fantasy stories
-
count and clap
out syllables in words
-
read one syllable
words, sight words (ones listed in What’s Happening) and the
color and number recognition words
-
begin to
understand “plot” in a story (the structure of the story)
I had the
opportunity to visit another Kindergarten classroom in October and was able to
observe some teaching techniques that I was interested in and will soon
begin to incorporate these ideas into our classroom. We will begin a
new phonemic awareness program and will begin to incorporate more Kid Writing
into our day. I am excited!
In Grammar we
will:
*continue to
discuss nouns and plural nouns
* be introduced
to proper nouns, verbs and the adjectives for colors, shapes, sizes and numbers
In Writing we will:
*continue to
practice printing our small and capital letters correctly
*continue to
practice our names correctly
*begin to write
words based on how they sound
*practice spacing
between words (spaghetti spaces between letters and a finger space between
words)
*begin writing
predictable sentences
In Math we will:
*work on number
recognition to 40
*write our
numbers to 40
*review
counting by 10’s and 5’s
*practice
counting beyond 100
*adding
Thank you for your beautiful children.
Blessings,
Mrs. Steele
