Happy Tuesday this week! I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. I did. My husband and I went to LaGrange Georgia to watch my son's football game. They won! It was so much fun watching him play.
We are learning how to work in small groups. We are practicing using quiet voices, sharing materials, taking turns, and being polite to one another.
The students are familiar with all of these manipulatives, from kindergarten last year. It is fun to explore and share ideas with some new classmates. I will be sending home the Unit 1 Checking Progress this week. Please check it over and work on reviewing these skills with your child.
I am also sending home the list of Kindergarten sight words. It would be very beneficial if your child could read, and if appropriate, spell them quickly. This whole year is building upon previous taught skills. I am adding new words weekly, and continuing with spelling rules as well.
I am also sending home a copy of the letter formation handwriting chart. Please make sure your child is forming the letters neatly, and correctly when completing their homework.
I have a link to Spelling City, and Spin and Spell directly on my blog page. I have introduced the students to robust vocabulary words. These words are for them to understand the meaning only, and recognize them if they appear in their reading. There will be six new words each week. The robust vocabulary words to revisit and discuss from last week are attentive, cram, strategy, nearby, fright and escape. The Homework Calendar will go home today. Have a great week. We will!
