Central School

Welcome to Kindergarten

 Week of November 1, 2026

 

 The students are continuing to follow the Eagle way and are constantly earning Eagle Feathers!  We take care of our school, each other and our learning.  Congratulations to the Eagles of the Week and Eagles of the Month!

 

Handwriting-Students have learned the uppercase letters E,F,D,T, M, N B,P, H, U, L, I, S, K R, A, G, C, O, J.  We have learned the proper way to hold our pencil, the correct way to sit and all about frog jumps, big lines, small curves and big curves to form letters.  We know that ALL letters start from the top.  We have also learned the sounds that correspond with these letters.  This week we will learn the uppercase and lower case letters W and V.  Students are also learning a motion to coincide with the sounds the letters make.  Students have been doing well with identifying words that begin with the letters we have learned thus far.

 We have also learned all our vowels and love singing Vowel Bat!

 

Math- Students will be assessed on 3D shapes and will have a unit assessment on Monday.  Our next focus of study will be on addition to 5 and joining numbers together. 

 

Sight Words-Students will be introduced to the sight words "my" and "we" this week.   Students will glue these words into their composition book and should practice reading it evey night.  Students do not need to know how to spell the words, but should be able to recognize the sight words once they are taught.  

 

Previous sight words taught:  the, I, see, a, is, and, go, to, he, can, me, she

 

 

We are also busy learning and practicing our color words.  Students should be able to recognize color words.

 

Writing-We have begun writing in our journals.  Students are learning to write sentences leaving spaces between their words and ending with a period.  Students are using their sight words and sounding out words to write a simple sentence using their best handwriting.

 

Being a Reader-Students will be practicing the strategy Turn and Talk to a Partner about the book they have listened to.  Students will work with partners to share their thinking and learning before sharing their ideas with the class.  Students will also be learning about Text-To-Self Connections and new vocabulary words.  Our new vocabulary words this week will be greet, excited, lonely, invite.

 

Students are reading Sight Word books during centers, highlighting the sight words we are learning.  Please have your child reread this book at night to you.  It heps build fluency, expression and practices their sight words.   If your child comes home with a book, please sign the reading log and return the book in the Ziplock bag.
