Happy Monday!

Field trip is on Thursday. If you are a chaperone, please come into school with your child on Thursday morning so I can give you your group and the agenda for the day. Chaperones- please bring a bag or backpack to carry lunches in. All student lunches should come in a disposable bag that can be thrown away.

Kindergarten weekly curriculum

The sight words on the homework packet will be tested on Friday. We have worked with these sight words for 4 weeks. Students will be tested on recognition only. Kindergarten students are doing AMAZING with their reading!

We will continue to work on touch math this week. Kindergarten students are going to participate in Ninja math with the 1st graders (see below).

1st grade weekly curriculum

We are working on the -th sound this week. Spelling lists come home today, the additional 5 words will come from the -th family. We are also working on long A spelling patterns (ai, ay, a_e). Students should be able to recognize the pattern in their books this week.

Increasing fluency in reading:

Sight word mom’s are starting this week! Students will have to read the word 3 times (you will see 3 check marks) before they trade the word out for a new sight word. I have already noticed some students jumping reading levels!! Sight words play a HUGE role in this. Thank you to the parents that are practicing the sight words bags each night in addition to reading.

Ninja Math 

We will begin Ninja Math this week! Students will get a new belt for their ninja each time they complete a level. The students need to answer 20 math problems in 1 minute.
