It has been a very exciting first week in Kindergarten! 
 
In Reading, we read our story “The Little School Bus” and discussed rhyming words, character, and parts of a book. We also learned about and practiced writing the letters Aa and Bb. In Math, we learned about squares and rectangles and practiced writing the number 1.

Next week, we will continue to read the “The Little School Bus” and will learn about how people live, work and play together.  We will also introduce the letters Cc, Dd, and Ee. We will continue to practice rhyming words, discuss character, and identify parts of a book.  In Math, we will introduce circles, triangles, hexagons, and solid figures and practice our number writing!

Reminders:
  • Due to our late lunch time in Kindergarten, we have snack every day around 10:15. Please be sure that you are sending a snack in with your child – the school does not provide a snack. Thank you! 
  • On gym days, students are to wear their gym clothes to school. Please make sure that your child is wearing a Spartan t-shirt and sneakers. The school will periodically send t-shirt order forms home with your child but if you are need of one immediately, please contact the PTO.
