Happy Monday!
We had such a wonderful day today! We began our special "Happy Camper" person of the day. The student (AM: Finley, PM: Dylan) helped me lead and identify our Calendar routine. Everyone practiced writing the "Happy Camper's" name and the "Happy Camper" should have the name book in backpack to keep at home.
We also began our Reading and Math curriculum today! We read "Animals in the Park: An ABC Book" and identified the title, author, and illustrator of many books. We practiced counting beans on a new "hand math mat" and introduced new math vocabulary: Exactly the same or similar! We also read a favorite book of mine, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!
Today was the first day the homework folder came home. There is a picture of a blue sock in the homework folder on the left side (the stay at home side) and there is a handwriting page on the right side (the return to school side). The handwriting page is due back on Friday in the homework folder. **On the handwriting page please help your kindergartener practice writing the letters the way they are "dotted" with a finger space in between each time they write their name. We are emphasizing that the tall letters touch the top line, the small letters only touch the dotted middle line and all the letters sit on the bottom line. Thank you for your help with this at home!**
It was a big day! :) Be looking for the Cookie Fundraiser packet (PM should have received it on Friday, AM will bring it home Tuesday)
Please come to the PTO Meeting TONIGHT at 6:30 in the Library for the PTO meeting and a presentation on what Kindergarten has been up to so far this year! Hope to see you there!
Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
