Announcements READING REMINDERS!All children are now responsible for reading their Homework Books from the NEW Book Room and returning them on a daily basis. This will be a weekly grade beginning with the second semester.
Children should also be completing their daily reading calendars and returning them at the end of each month. Remember, these should be books that are separate from their homework books, and they may be read by or to the child. COMPUTER NEWS!!!!Our class has begun weekly visits to the Computer Lab, over and above our normal Computer time in the Special Class rotation schedule. The children are using a new program called "Reading Eggs." Each child took a placement test online, and is engaged in activities based upon his/her individual level.

Welcome Back!We are off to a great start to school! The children have settled in to the routines of the day, and are really starting to focus on mastering the first early skills of Kindergarten. We are reading and writing each day!
One adjustment that some children are struggling with is that of writing their names "the school way." This would be a good thing to practice at home. Your child should write his/her name with an upper case letter only for the first letter, and the rest should be lower case letters. Please refer to the handwriting guide that was given out at Orientation if you are unsure how your child is being taught to form the letters. One key thing to remember is that we always "start our letters at the top." Please remember to send your child with a small, healthy snack each day. Also, please dress your child appropriately for outdoor play as well as for a very chilly classroom...layers are best! Thank you for all that you are already doing to support your child's school success! Discussion Topics Files
