What We Did This Week

• Our AlphaFriend this week was Sammy Seal, letter S.
• We sorted magnetic letters to find “m” and “s”
• We continue to read stories about Fall.
• We wrote in our journals off our whole group topic list.
• In math we practiced counting by 1’s and introduced the shapes of the pattern blocks.
• In Handwriting we enjoyed songs about our letter shapes and practice shaking with our dominant hand (right).

We will begin NWEA testing (a district wide test for assessment purposes) during the month of October – the assessment will be completed on the computers.

Much of the assessment for Kindergarten is read to them by the computer.  This is why headphones are very important for each child to have.  If you haven’t sent headphones for your student to use yet they can be found at the Dollar Store.  Or ear buds can work too. 

Thank you in advance!
