We are entering our first full week of kindergarten!!! We are busy learning the routines and expectations of the classroom as well as getting to know each other.... we are having LOTS of fun!
Below is a layout of what we will be learning and working on throughout the week. On Wednesday this week the students will have a substitute teacher in the afternoon while I will be doing Fluency Testing. This means I will be meeting one on one with each child and seeing what letters, letter sounds, sight words and numbers they are familiar with and which ones we still need to work on as a baseline for their learning. I'm looking forward to a GREEEEEAAAAAAT week!
Please let me know if you have any questions - Thanks!!
