HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I am anxious to see all of my kindergarten faces tomorrow!!! Please remember to bring your beach towels back to school for quiet reading time.
Parents, as discussed, we will be starting reading groups. Your child will start working on books at their individual reading levels. The books that they bring home at night will have a reading card. The card will indicate what we worked on in the book, and then you will need to sign your initials after you have listened to your child read the book once or twice. Please note on the card that I have stated it is okay for the students to use the pictures to help them solve words, but they must also look at and point to the words as they read. Many parents do get frustrated when their child memorizes the entire sentence and rambles it as their eyes stare at the picture. I will be working with the students on many reading strategies, and we will work hard to keep you posted so that we can all work together on our reading adventure!! We will try to get a new book home 2-3 times a week.
One last reminder that I do ask the students to wear shoes or sneakers in school. When your child wears snow boots to school, please make sure that you pack them a change of shoes to wear in the classroom. It would also be a great idea to pack an extra pair of socks in backpacks in case feet get wet out on the playground.
