Welcome to Kindergarten

 Week of February 15, 2026

 

Thank you so much for all the goodies and treats.  I felt so loved on Valentine's Day.  You are all so thoughtful and I truly appreciate your generosity.  

 

This week at a glance:

 

Handwriting-We are continuing to practice our writing every day.  Students are reminded to always use their best handwriting, put their first and last name on a their paper and leave a space between and use an uppercase letter to start both their first name and last name.  We will continue working with digraphs and blends.

 

 

 

High Frequency Words-Due to the shortened week, students will be introduced to only one sight word 'what' 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.  Students should be able to read all the words we have learned thus far.

Previous words learned -the, and, is, I, see, you, me, we, go, can, he, she, isn't, can't, to, like, my, eat, look, by, here, down, are, do, for, saw, will, said, come, some, was, they, have, her, a, little, out, play, of

 

We will be continuing learning about compound words.

 

We will learn about the magic e this week.  

 

 

 

Writing-This week we are continuing to focus 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.  We are sounding out words as we write.  We are trying to use our best handwriting every time we write and are learning that our names only begin with an uppercase letter and the rest of the letters should be lowercase.  We use tapping out words to decode CVC words.  (Consonant-vowel-consonant)  Students have begun writing independently to prompts and a dictated sentences using the skills they have acquired.  We will continue to work on responding to a text and use our best handwritng.

 

 

 

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.  This week we will begin our unit of study on non-fiction texts.  Our first book that students will listen to is My Home, Your Home.  Student will make connetions to the text and identify key features of non-fiction texts.  

 

Our new vocabulary words will be explain, apart, reattach, attach

 

 

  

Small group reading will continue.  If you child brings home a book to read, please sign and date their reading log.  This should be a familiar reread.  

 

 

We are currently working on interrupting and trying to keep our blurts to a minimum.  We have implemented a new system to try to keep our elephants all day long!  We are continuing to work on tattling vs. telling.
