After math, we read our Alpha Tales book, "Olive the Octopus's Day of Juggling," which focuses on all the sounds the letter O can say. After reading, we guessed what was in my alphabet can (many things starting with o). Then we did our Daily Message and Calendar routine! Today is day number 78! Students are getting really good at their counting! After that, we had indoor recess due to the ice on the blacktop. We then had reading groups, working on blending, decoding and writing the sounds that we hear and say. We also worked on our ABC book (octopus), writing the letter o and our sight words, and listened to the story Too Many Toys by David Shannon. We finished with our first math sprint, where students had to count and circle the number of objects trying to beat the bell.
1. Homework folders came home today (1/19).
2. Kindergarten has started RAZ-Kids (an on-line reading program) and IXL (an on-line math program) this week. Both these programs are meant to be used as tools to practice and challenge your child. They do not replace the current homework.
3. Grandparents Day is March 18, 2016 from 8:15am - 9:00am.
Have a great evening!
~Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
