News from Room 113
A Peek at our Week
Reading: We have talked a lot
about the concept of a word, how
letters together make up a word, and
that spaces separate our words so we
know when a word ends and a new
word begins. When reading at home,
continue to reinforce these important
concepts.
Phonics: (L, K, Y)
Please continue to practice all of the
sounds we have introduced and return
their yellow folders on Monday. We have
also been leaning about words that rhyme
and reading a lot of rhyming books. The
kinders have been doing a lot of practice
with beginning sounds of words.
Math: Our focus these past two weeks
have been on the concept of zero, working
with benchmarks of 5 and 10, and
continued practice of number recognition. I
will be sending home their first Math Game
and manipulatives on Tuesday!
Writing: We will start using our Writing
Folders to store our writing pieces we work
on in class. Please send your child’s
“Writing Ideas Bubble” back to school
on Wednesday, October 14 so we can
attach it to the front of their folders.
