Remembering September 11th

On Thursday, we celebrated Patriot's Day! We briefly discussed September 11th and heroes in our community. We talked about why this is such an important day to the U.S.A.

We also read the book September 12th We Knew Everything Would Be All Right. Our class loved this book! Especially, the words and illustrations. This book was written by first grades in Kennett, Missouri.  It was a neat experience for students to see a child made book.

Practicing One-to-one Correspondence with Goldfish

On Thursday, we practiced one-to-one correspondence with goldfish. This is an easy skill to practice at home that will help your child with counting.

Our Friend Zero the Hero

This week on the 20th day of school we met our friend "Zero the Hero". We discussed why the number 0 is so important and why it is different from the other numbers.

Every 10 days of school we will get to color in a Zero Hero and we are VERY excited!

Handwriting Without Tears Curriculum

Dear Parent(s)/Legal Guardian(s),

  Our Kindergarten Handwriting curriculum is Handwriting Without Tears. It covers  capital and lowercase letters; number, word, and sentence lessons that combine handwriting instruction with other language art lessons. It provides a fun and interactive way to learn, gray blocks for teaching capitals without reversals, large step-by-step illustrated instruction, child-friendly consistent language, generous space with room to write, double lines to facilitate correct size and placement, and left-hand friendly design.

  This week our class will be introduced to HWT writing techniques. The following weeks to come your child will  learn how to write their letters.

Pete the Cat: An Introduction to the the number 4 and 0

This week we read Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons. This was a fun and interactive way for us to review the numbers 4 & 5. If you are not familiar with this story, check it out in the link below! Our class just LOVED this book :)

Name Writing Practice

The past couple weeks we have practiced writing our first & last name in various ways! Check it out!

The last two are easy ways to practice at home! You can write your child's name with a marker and have them trace the letters with stickers to practice letter formation. You can also rainbow write, which is our class favorite! You can write your child's name with a black marker and have them trace over it in every color of the rainbow.
