Fall Into Reading

It’s Falling into reading with Mrs. Rose’s Kindergarten Friends

Dear Parents,
It is so important that children be exposed to books and reading each day in order to develop a love of literature and reading skills that will last a lifetime. In an effort to kindle the spark for September and October, our classes will be participating in a reading nightly for twenty minutes as we are “Falling Into Reading with Mrs. Roses Kindergarten Friends”.
The goal is for each child to read twenty minutes per night with an adult. You can read to your child, your child can read to you, or you can do a little of both. We are asking that you record our child’s reading on the reading log. Once your child has completed his or her reading log please return it to school in their folder and he or she will be awarded with a reading leaf for their efforts, and a new reading log will be sent home. The success of this program would not happen without our wonderful parents. Thank you again for your continued support of your child’s reading habits. It is truly wonderful to see their excitement grow as they become more self-confident with their reading.

Happy Reading,
Mrs. Rose and Mrs. Greene

Guidance Lessons

On Mondays, we have guidance lessons with our wonderful guidance counselor Ms. Booth.

Sight Words

Please continue to practice the sight words that were sent home in your Open House packet. I will update which words we are working on with twitter (usually every 2 weeks- or until the majority of the students have learned them). If you are not following our class on twitter- no worries, you can read twitter updates on the right side of the our blog in the twitter box or search "mykindergarten" in twitter to read updates.

What a Great First Week!

This is my little one and he was one tired school boy on Friday night. Thanks for a great first week parents. I love having your children in my class and I can't wait for all the exciting things we are going to do this year.

Our First Day

We had a great first day! I really enjoyed meeting all of your sweet children. Today we had a little surprised- we went on a scavenger hunt to look for the dish and the spoon- they ran away (smile). Luckily we found the dish and spoon in the library reading a book. Stay tuned to find out where we look the dish and the spoon for the rest of the week. Tomorrow is P.E., please wear sneakers.
