Wow! I can't believe the week is over. It flew by for us in kindergarten! We have been so busy learning each other's names and the routines of the classroom.
We have already written several class books. They will be on display at Open House! This week we have been working on the letter Aa and reading the word is. We have been sing a song to learn how to spell the word red. We also started singing "5 Little Monkeys."
This year our class is lucky enough to be piloting a new framework for reading called Readers Workshop. We have started learning the routines for this. It starts with a mini lesson, followed by independent reading time, and ending with a share time. I will continue to keep you updated on our progress!

You should have gotten the Unified Arts schedule this week. Remember to have your child wear sneakers on Tuesdays. At this point in the year, library books will stay at school.
Thank you to everyone who donated items for our classroom. We have lots of supplies to get us started. As the year progresses, I will let you know when we need more glue sticks and tissues. Those are the items we use the most! Some children have brought in pencil cases with their own supplies, I have asked them to leave those at home.
Thank you for remember to send in a snack for your child each day. We sure do work up an appetite in kindergarten! If your child is going to need a drink at snack time, could you please remind him or her in the morning. We have been having trouble knowing whether or not they need a drink. Snack drinks are ordered by 9:00 even though we don't have snack until 2:00. While we are learning the routine, it can be a difficult concept to understand!
Don't forget. . .
