Kinderpup News!
Welcome to our class blog! This is where you will find updates about what we are doing in kindergarten. I will update this blog regularly as well as send an email.
We had a wonderful first week of school! We made new friends, learned routines, met the school counselor and even went to our very first assembly! I really enjoyed their smiley faces as we kick off a new school year.
Mark your calendars for our Parent Orientation Night on August 27th from 7:00-8:00pm. You will learn all about our classroom, homework procedures, and volunteer opportunities. If you would like to participate in field trips or volunteer at school you may attend the confidentiality training right before Parent Orientation starting at 6:30 in the school gym. You must attend the confidentiality training in order to volunteer.

What are we learning?
Reading WorkshopWe are learning what strong readers do. Strong readers read every day, think and talk about the books they read, read everything in sight, and read different types of texts for different reasons.
Writing Workshop
This week, we are learning that we are all writers and how to use our Writer’s Notebooks. On Friday, we are writing our first entry in our Family Journals. Please take time over the weekend to read your child’s letter to you and respond.
Handwriting
Handwriting instruction will focus on developing fine motor skills as well as the proper formation of the following letters: B, b, M, & m
Word Study
This week, we will explore the letters
Bb and Mm. Ask your child about the letter sound chants for both. We will also learn how to read and write
these words that will be added to our Word Wall: and, the. Have your child sing you the songs for these
words. The word ring came home
today. Please practice reading, spelling
and writing these words.
MathWe are going to be exploring the different math tools that we have in our classroom. We will be using these tools throughout the year, so students will begin to learn the vocabulary, how to handle them and how each tool will help them with math.
