Smart Kids!

Hello everyone!! I really can NOT believe we are already half way through September!! I am having such a great time with all of your kids. I hope they are telling you about all of the fun stuff we have been doing!

In literacy we have been working on making text-to-text connections.  We have also been working on the high-frequency words ‘can’ and ‘the’! We are becoming great readers already!!  We are working on rhyming and beginning sounds too. This week we got introduced to Happy, he is our dog puppet that helps us read. We LOVE Happy!! We learned about the letter ‘M’ and the sound it makes…ask your kindergartener to tell you!! In writing we have been working on telling stories from our lives. We have begun to write words and match our words to our pictures!

 

Our new friend Happy!!

This week we started talking about American symbols. The symbols we will learn are the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty, the American Flag, the White House, and Bald Eagle. We are making another awesome book and doing some cool crafts. On Tuesday we will celebrate Constitution Day. Please be watching for a family project that will be coming home that day. If possible, please have your child wear red, white, and blue to help us celebrate this fun day!!

Also, I wanted to say thank you again for coming to parent teacher conferences these last few weeks. I always enjoy conferences and am happy for the opportunity to talk with you about your child. I am so glad that you were all able to come to conferences early for me. Please know if you have any questions you can always contact myself or Mrs. Kring. 

Speaking of Mrs. Kring, she will for sure be starting this Wednesday, Sept. 18th, because if Baby Woita does not come in the next day or two I will be going to the hospital Tuesday night to get induced. I plan on being gone for 6 weeks if all goes well. I know that Mrs. Kring is super excited to start and hopefully my friends will do a great job  I hope you all have a super great week!

Love- Mrs. Woita
