News from Mrs. Wilmeth
Dilley Elementary
1st Six Weeks – Week 4
This Week’s News…
 Thank you for presenting the yellow
“Kindergarten” card at mom-pick up. This is for
the safety of our students at Dilley Elementary.
It helps me know who is supposed to pick up
your child and it helps me remember who
presented it when your child was picked up.
Again, thank you and I appreciate your help with
this!!!!
 Things I would recommend working on at
home:
-Tieing Shoes
-Rhyming
-Practice sight words daily.
-Practice writing numbers 1-5. We use these
sayings when writing the numbers:
1 – come straight down and that is all
2 – curl around and slide to the right
3 – halfway around and around again
4 – down, slide right, and cut it in two
5 – down and around and give it a hat
