Fall is here!  Can you believe it’s already the last week of September?  Time sure flies by way too fast!

Here’s next week at a glance…

Since this is week 3 of our first unit, we will review concepts, words, and lessons, from weeks 1 and 2.

READING: We’ll read a story called Jazz Baby.  It’s a favorite with the Kindergarteners-lots of rhythm when I read it.

In reading the story, as with all stories that I read, I am looking for ORAL LANGUAGE, PREDICTIONS,  AND COMPREHENSION.

WORDS: We will revisit I    Can    can

WRITING: In class we will have a Shared Writing where we will complete a sentence.

For the District, we will begin our first WRITING PROMPT.  This writing will be a Narrative Piece (telling a story.)

MATH: Numbers Numbers Numbers!!  “What number comes after 13?’ (14)  “How do we make a 13?’

(1 & 3)  “How many buttons are on your jacket?”  “Write the next 5 numbers after 6.” “How many shoes are in your closet?”  “How many steps to get to the car?” “How many stop signs from our house to Kroger?”

They also will be finishing NWEA Reading and completing NWEA Math on the computers.

I think our Specials Schedule is complete.  It looks like my kids will have

Gym-Monday & Friday

Music-Tuesday & Thursday

Art-Thursday & Friday

Media-Wednesday

Library (for book exchange)-Tuesdays

Another busy, happy week coming up.  They have done a lot of writing this week.  That means saying the words we write, listening for the sounds our mouths are making, identifying the letter to go with the sounds and THEN learning how to write the letter correctly!  Please take time every day to let your child read their work to you.  It keeps you involved with what they are learning and doing during their days in here.

Thank you for sharing your children with me.  I love being with them.

Enjoy your weekend!
