Second Week of School

Parents,

I cannot believe we are already into our second week of school! Please make sure you check your child's purple folder daily. We will have a newsletter that will be sent home at the beginning of each week. (It is on our class color, purple paper, and there is also a copy of this newsletter on our Kindergarten website.) Their "homework" (with parent help), is to bring back the "Baby Picture" form filled out, and include a picture from when they were a baby. (We will be displaying these in the hallway next week!) Also, if you have not turned in money for Scholastic, please make sure you do so this week. :) Thank you!

Last week we practiced our stamina during Daily 5 for "Read to Self." We made it all the way to 8 minutes! Today, we were introduced to "Read to Someone." Partner reading is a fun way to practice reading strategies, improve fluency, and check for understanding. We practiced our stamina for "Read to Self," and modeled what it should look like, sound like, and feel like. Our "EEKK" poem was a helpful reminder.



I look forward to another fabulous week in Kindergarten!

Thank you,

Miss Dudik
