Our literacy framework is called Daily 5. We started the fifth component today called Word Work. During this time, students have the opportunity to practice important sight words. Your child needs to learn these words so they will automatically recognize them while reading. Since there is a huge range of abilities in kindergarten, some students already know many of these words while other students know just a few. Each week your child will take home a ring of cards in their book bag. Please practice these words at home, while we will continue to practice at school. If your child already knows how to read these words, then have them practicing writing these words. The ring of cards will need to be placed back in their book bag each night so we can use them the next day during Daily 5. We will not begin formal spelling words or tests until the third card marking, sometime in the spring.
Week 1- Words of the Week

Lunch Recess:
At Lindbergh, we understand the importance of children getting plenty of exercise each day. Please plan on your child to go outside for lunch recess unless the temperature is below 15 degrees. If there is snow on the ground or grass your child needs to wear snowpants and boots in order for them to play in it. Otherwise, students who are not wearing snowpants or boots will need to stay on the blacktop. If your child gets wet during lunch recess, there will be no phone calls home for a change of clothes. Please make sure your child has an extra change of clothes in their locker, in case they need it.
As always, thanks for your support!
Ms. Wright
