Welcome to Kindergarten

 Week of Oct. 12, 2025

 

 

This week at a glance:

 

Handwriting-We have learned how to correctly form the letters t, f, b, i, l, m, n, d, s, a, g and f, the sounds they make, the motion to help us remember and words that go along with these letters.  Please continue to practice giving your child words or objects and have them identify the beginning sound.

This week we will be learning the letters c and o.  We will learn how to correctly form the letters, the sounds it makes, words that begin with these letters and the pictures that helps us remember.  We will learn the upper and lowercase letters.  It is important that you reinforce that all our letters are formed from the top down not the bottom up.

 

High Frequency Words-Students will be introduced to the sight word 'can' this week  This will be in their composition books and they should be practicing it daily.  Students should be able to recognize and read the words.  They do not need to know how to spell the word.

Previous words learned -the, and, is, I, see, you, me, we, go

 

Writing-This week we will be focusing on journal writing.  Students are incorporating the sight words and sounds they know to form words and learning how a sentence is formed.  We begin with an uppercase and end with punctuation leaving spaces between our words.

 

Being a Writer-Students will listen to a story called Soup Day.  They will then make a connection of something they like to do with an important person in their life.  Students will draw, write and share about their writing.

 

Being a Reader-We are continuing to use the strategy turn and talk with your partner and making connections to the books we are listening too.  We are also learning about retelling.  We have introduced our vocabulary component to Being a Reader.  Last week, students learned the words, snatch, furious, welcome and comfort.  

 

This week, students will listen to a story called, Say Hello.  Students will learn the vocabulary words greet, excited, lonely and invite.
