Kindergarten News
We will also begin assessing each child this
week in the area of counting, letters, sounds,
shapes, and basic information. We will be
sending home this information in a couple of
weeks as part of a midterm report.
A great way to help your child is to review
his/her worksheets each evening. Ask your
child what number is on the paper or what
sound he/she has written. Also have your child
to practice counting. For example, if your child
can count to 10, then practice counting to 20.
Every Kindergarten student should be able to
count to 100 by the end of the year.
We sent home a book order for you to view
with your child today. If you wish to order,
please send it back to school by Tues., Sept. 1st
or you can order online at
www.scholastic.com/bookclubs, using the code
GLZZA.
