Weekly Update:

 1- Tuesdays: Send library books, classroom book(s), and take-home folders to school (please remove keep at home papers)

2- FRIDAY:  Early Out 1:10pm
$1.00 dress down. (Student participation is optional. Students are welcome to wear a Quest Spirit shirt with uniform pants or traditional uniforms).

3-FRIDAY: Today you will see a zipper bag coming home with a Kindergarten Progress Report, a book, and possibly other items. The report gives you some specific information you can use to help your child progress. Our standards are listed on the first page with a detailed report of what your child has successfully learned and what your child still needs to work on. In a recent teacher training, we learned that home support is vital to a child's success at school. This one-on-one time you spend with your child is essential and greatly appreciated!

There are some standards in both ELA and Math that we have not covered yet and there will not be a score for those topics. We have included them because they will be coming up after the break and before the end of the quarter.

Your child is beginning to read! They can sound out words and will tap their fingers to help them recognize and blend sounds. Reading with them at home and giving them encouragement will help them continue in this process and become successful readers. I have included a "book feedback" form in the zipper bag. When your child can smoothly read the book without hesitation, please send it back to school in the zipper bag and we will exchange the book for another one.

What we are learning:

We are now beginning Unit 3 in Language Arts. Below are the power words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks. We will continue working on syllables, identifying the beginning and ending sounds of words, and blending sounds to read words. We have learned all of our sound wall sounds and use our sound wall to help us spell and read words.

In math, we are adding and subtracting within 5, reading and writing our numbers 11-20 and comparing greater than and less than with numbers and objects up to 10. We will be exploring 3D shapes, weight, and counting to 100 by 10’s and 1’s.
