We're still getting used to the schedule, routines, rules and new faces. Here are some concepts we are working on that you could ask about!
Literacy:
Rhyming ~ try to work rhyming words into conversation at home. READ and point out rhyming words in books you have at home. We will test the ability to pick out rhyming pairs soon!
Letters ~ we are introducing capital and lowercase letters. Talk about what letter comes at the beginning of your child's name. In class we have started a name chart!
Math:
We are working on position words like ~ top, middle bottom
in and out
above and below
over and under
left and right
Please try to use these words in daily conversations as well!
Writer's Workshop
We are learning that kindergartners can be authors. We've spent the last few days telling oral stories from our lives. We want to kids to be able to tell/write stories that really happened to them. The rest of this week we'll be working on drawing pictures of our stories.
Procedures
And of course we're still working on what the rules are inside and outside and how the school discipline system works. You should have received a note about the school's BIST program and how the students may have to sit in the safe seat or go to the buddy room.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
