Kindergarten has had a very busy week! The students have done a fantastic job learning all their new concepts. They have learned how to count by 5's and count by 10's, they know how much a penny, dime, and our newest coin learned, a nickle is worth. Our latest special sound is "th" in this. A copy of our special sound chart will be sent home in each student's folder. Students have also learned half past the hour when telling time. This week's work introduced many new concepts.

 Congratulations we have completed the second 9 weeks of the school year!! Report Cards will be sent home this Monday. As we begin the 3rd nine weeks of the year, please keep in mind that this is the most challenging quarter of the year. They will be learning the most concepts, and will begin having weekly homework assignments. 

 Reading books will need to be brought back everyday. The students will have reading homework at least 2 days a week. It is very important for them to have their books to get homework assignments and to be able to read in class. A reading guide will be sent home which helps guide parents and students on different concepts the students have been taught such as:sight words, how to mark vowels, etc. Please keep this sheet in their folder at all times.
