Kindergarten Newsletter
January 26th - January 30th
What
a fun week last week! This
is
my
favorite
time
of
kindergarten
because they
start
growing and progressing faster! It
takes a little bit to get over
the
“hump”
of
having
more responsibility and such but
they are adjusting well. We had so much fun on the 100th
day of school. It is always one of my favorite days. We will continue working
with short a words and adding a few sight words. I am going to have to be out a
couple of days this week due to my sweet baby boy being sick with the flu. He’s
been
in
quarantine and is on the uphill
stretch. That mess is awful.
Jolie
hasn’t
been
around him and isn’t showing any
signs. I’ve cleaned with so much Lysol that I think it’s a part of my DNA now! Haha!
Anyway,
we
have
Mrs. Jenny. The kids love her and
she loves them so the days should be awesome. We will have our open house for
new students this week. If you know any families that would be interested bring
them or send them! We want our school to grow and we also want more children to
be able to benefit from all the good we can offer! J
Also, if you haven’t gotten in your time capsule box and materials try to have
them in by Friday so we can go ahead an finish those. It is going to be an
amazing keepsake for our babies.

•Secret
Tips:
•Everyone
did so great with sounding and blending this past week. Use the blocks and the
magnetic fridge to practice building spelling words. Remember! It’s not memorization! Get them to hear those sounds.
That will be the best benefit that you
can give to them as beginning spellers and readers.
•With
the readers, take them slow! The BEST thing to do is do a picture walk first. All
that means
is to
use the
pictures
to figure
out what
is happening
without reading any words yet. Then, go through and see if you can point out
any sight words. Lastly, practice reading. It’s always
a good
idea to read it multiple times to
build that fluency!
