For this fun activity, you will need the beginning sounds parking lot printouts, some toy cars, and some tape or sticky notes. The cars will need to be labeled with the beginning letters of the pictures on the printouts. See the photo for what this activity will look like. Have fun!

The Word Pattern for Today: -am
I am including a sight word reader and an activity page. Today will be all about the -am pattern. Some people refer to the word patterns as “word families”. Both terms mean the same thing. Words included in the “am” pattern could be, jam, ham, Bam, slam, Cam, dam, Pam, ram, Sam, Wham, and yam, to name a few. Please download and print the following items:
What to do with your Kindergarten student while learning at home:
Let’s Go on a Word Hunt!
Parents, you can easily set up a fun Word Hunt in your home. Get some sticky notes and write words on each note and place them all over your home. Give your child a print out, a clipboard ( if you have one) and a pencil and have them search all over your home to find the words that you have hidden. They can tally them, or write them on their recording sheet. See the printable that I have placed below:

Ending Sounds Activity
This is a lotto game played just like Bingo. There are enough materials for 3 players. The word caller reads the word and the players look on their game board for a word that ends the same as the word called. For example: If I were to say “bat” the player would look on their board for a picture that ends like bat, such as “hat” or “foot”. You can play using the bingo rules, or play until a player fills their entire board. If you don’t have bingo chips, you can use, pasta, beans or coins. Just download, print and cut out the words, and you can play as many times as you would like. Enjoy!

I miss seeing your smiling faces every day. I hope you’re reading your books every day. This post is to remind you that you have a bag of sight words in your reading bags. Please read them and practice writing them every day. Here are some other fun things that you can do with your words. Click on the link below:

Dearborn Public Schools offering free meals to students.
Dearborn Public Schools is offering free pickup lunch and breakfast for students while school is closed for the mandatory shut down over the next three weeks.
Families will be able to stop in and pick up a bag with both breakfast and lunch for each child in the family. Pickups will run daily from 10 a.m. to noon March 17, at Fordson, Edsel Ford and Dearborn high schools, McCollough-Unis, Salina Intermediate, and Woodworth Middle School.
Signage at each site will direct parents and students where to enter the building. Food will be near entrances to minimize the amount of time community members spend in the facilities.
Please note, meals are available to anyone age 18 and younger. Students do not need to be present, and the Dearborn School student does not need to attend at that building. A designated person can collect meals for multiple children. Meals for Saturday and Sunday can be picked up on Friday.
