Reading: The kids have been doing a lot of reading! They recognize letters, know the sounds the letters make, and are learning how to blend those sounds together to make words. Students have also been working hard on their everyday words (sight words). They are becoming more and more confident readers and writers as they practice sounding out words and using their everyday words to make sentences. We will continue to build words and do more reading and writing as we are introduced to more letter people.

Math: Students have been learning how to write numbers 1-20 on lined paper, straight and tall. During the 2^nd quarter, we will be doing a lot of hands-on activities focusing on sorting, classifying, comparing, and measuring.

We also continue to have center time and work on special projects and units in the afternoons.

Winter DIBELS testing will be done on Tuesday, January 12^th. Kindergarten students will be assessed on letter naming, beginning sounds, nonsense words (lut, sim), and segmenting (breaking words apart into sounds).

You’ll be receiving a letter in late January letting you know how your child performed on the DIBELS assessment.

Thank you to everyone for attending our Christmas program in December. The kids did a FANTASTIC job!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mohr
