This is our first FULL week of kindergarten and I know the students will love it. We will have our first Character Assembly of the year with Mrs. Swanson and I think she has a pretty exciting message in store for us. (Hint: this year's Character Theme is "Team Shirley Hills"). We will also begin starting to learn and focus on the letters Mm and Ss in handwriting and reading the sight word I with our first theme "All About Me." We will also learn some new vocabulary words: ability, talent, confident, complained, encourage, and reverse.
In Math we will be reviewing concepts in the next two weeks such as shapes, directional words (i.e: right, left, above, below) and sorting objects by color, size and kind.
I'm looking forward to a great week!

UpDaTeS:

The kindergarten students had a good first two days last week, I hope we can continue with that in our first five-day week ahead! We are still learning the routines of the classroom and remembering our responsibilities. On Monday, Sept. 14th, our principal, Mrs. Swanson, will introduce the new Character Ed. theme for the coming year, the students are going to love it! We will also begin reviewing and learning the letters M and S. Along with some new vocabulary with words such as:
Complained, Talent, Confident, Reverse, Ability and Encourage.

Also parents, so you are aware, the kindergarten teachers will be doing assessments during the morning on Thurs. Sept. 17th. I will be in the class pulling students one at a time to find out which language and math skills they know and a substitute will be teaching just for the morning.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It was great to see some of you at the Welcome Back BBQ last Friday!
Thanks for your support!
