Kindergarten Newsletter
November 18th- November 22nd  

I am so proud of all these little people are accomplishing! They amaze me every single day! We are continuing to rock and roll through kindergarten! We are winding our way through November way too fast. We will keep right along with our sight words, manipulating beginning, middle, and ending sounds, and starting something called phoneme segmentation. That is a fancy word for making sure we hear every sound in a word. This skill will start slowly but will speed up as we progress. The purpose for this skill is to lay the ground work for blending and decoding words on their own, especially reading fluency and writing. We had a fun week with our "real reading". They are so funny when they realize that they can actually do it! We been working on our numbers 0-15 and now we are going to tackle some more! They are picking up very quickly on these because of our understanding of our numbers 0-10. We haven't make Forky with our senior friends because I promised them that we'd wait on everyone to be at school! We will have our Thanksgiving fun day on Tuesday! I'm going to send home more information as we go. We've decided to order lunch (ham, mac and cheese, and beans) and have our party parents bring extra fixings. Be on the lookout for a form!
