L is for Learning!

This is the first full week of school this year. Our theme this week is the alphabet with a spotlight on the letter L. A great way to practice this sound is to share a lollipop with your child. Ask your child to say "lollipop" several times focusing on the L sound. We are learning about the calendar in math including the days of the week and months of the year. It is going to be a great year!

Rodeo Week!

This week is our Rodeo week in celebration of Pioneer Days. On Wednesday, we will be walking to the rodeo grounds to watch slack. On Thursday, it is our Kindergarten Rodeo. We will be going to the Kids Inc. fields and participating in several events. Thursday is also the day your child will need to bring their stick horse. Please check back on Friday for pictures from our Rodeo!

Math, Math, and more Math

There is a website we use in class that is great for math review at home. It will allow your child to answer 20 questions free per day and it is divided by grade level and topic. Since we are studying money, the money section would be great to work in! The website is www.ixl.com. We are also working on the special sounds "th" and "oo" in phonics.

Sh.....Quiet

This week we are learning the special sound "sh". This tends to be an easy sound for kids because they have often heard it! A fun way to practice this sound is to play a game with your child where they can "sh" you when you are talking. This gives them a lot of practice! In math, we are still working on the larger numbers.

"ck" like a Truck

This week we are leaning about the special sound "ck." An easy way to reinforce this concept is to look for signs around town like "No Trucks" or "Truck Stop" or "Snacks." We are continuing our study of the numbers 11-19 in math. Don't forget: next week we begin with our Fridays off and we will not be making up any of the snow days.
