10-14-19

This week’s content:

• Reading: pumpkins
• Writing: cvc words, Pumpkin book
• Math: place value an identifying numbers to 30
• Phonics: long vowels (so, no, me, hi) 
• Science: facts about pumpkins

• Homework:  Letter identification, Counting Goals, sight words, word list.

Notes: 

• Counting goals have been updated on your child’s behavior chart. I have also included any letters or numbers I would like for your child to continue to work on. Please work on these nightly.  
• We started sight words today. The words and sentences are on the back of your child’s behavior chart. They should practice these each night. We will assess them on Friday. Sight words are a very important part of Kindergarten. On Fridays, if you will keep your child’s behavior charts, then you will be able to have all the sight words for the year. I also suggest making note cards of the sight words, to continually review all the words we cover.
• Word list 1 is coming home tonight. We will do these every Monday. These are CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words. Practice these nightly and I will reassess on Friday. The word that is circled is a sight word, so please help your child memorize that word. Blending CVC words is something we are going to be focusing on very hard this quarter of school. Any extra time students spend doing this will only help them to become better readers.
• Book baggies will be sent either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on which days your child reads. There will also be a new reading note to tell about changes to the program. Students will now be doing two books a week, one that they read and the library book that someone reads to them.
