What a glorious day!
After being introduced to the letters Kk /k/and Ll /l/, the students practiced writing both letters. We then did another round of practice reading groups, where the kiddos worked on reading, concepts of print, letter ID, letter formation, and listening. We then got to head outside for some fun recess time in the sun. When we returned to class, we worked on finding more "hidden partners" and the students practiced making numbers and finding the partners. Finally, we ended our day with the Happy Camper interview, Happy Camper name book, calendar and Daily News.
*I will be sending all the WSP volunteer forms back to you. I was informed today that you have to take it into the office because they need to copy your drivers license as well. Please look for your form in your child's backpack.
Important Information:
1. The Take Home Books are due tomorrow. If you want your child to have a different book (same level) or a different level, please include a note in their plastic envelope/bag. If you don't include a note, your child will receive the same book.
2. Students should continue working on
their homework packets. Remember, we don't expect your child to be
reading and spelling everything correctly. Please just provide them a
quiet spot and read the sentence prompt to them. If they ask how to
spell something, just say..."use your best guess spelling! You can do
it!" Again, here are the "very hard to follow, but super important for your kiddo's growth" homework rules:
#1- Do not spell anything for them,
#2 Do not write anything for them,
#3 Do not tell them they wrote something incorrectly.
You literally smile and say good job! I am so proud of you! That is perfect!

3. Make sure your kiddo reads their take
home book at least once to you. Remember, it's very normal and
developmentally appropriate for kiddos to use picture clues. Please do
not cover the pictures in your child's book.
4. Please continue to help your child
sell cookie dough. Remember, if your kiddo sells or receives donations,
to fill out the white coupon and send it in. They will get a minion key
chain for every 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 tubs they sell/donations they receive. Again, please
email with questions!
5. If you have not yet put the yellow transportation tag on your child's backpack, please do that tonight. It so helpful and important that we know how your child will be getting home.
6. If you haven't turned in all your school forms, please do so asap! Thanks!
7. Pictures are this Friday (9/25). Please send in pictures envelopes in as soon as possible.
