102’s Kindergarten News For You!

Reading/Writing:  New letter Nn.   Our new word families will use letters /a/ or /i/ or in the middle.  Practice making words using the sound of /n/. 

Word Families:  have your child say the sounds, then “sing” the sounds  in order to slide it together.
The children are beginning to use temporary spelling.  This means writing a letter for each sound they hear.  Even if the word is spelled incorrectly, but all of the sounds are there, that is okay. Although, if they are spelling a word family word (hat, cat, pin, zip, etc…) OR a sight word from our word list these must be spelled correctly.

We are working on beginning our letters in the proper place on the line when writing.  The same works for numerals. Please take a look at your child’s handwriting papers when they come home in case there’s a need for extra practice.
Math/Numbers:   Work on writing numerals to 50 without help. Greater than & less than.  Which numerals are larger or smaller and why?  Skip-counting: learning to count by 2’s, 5’s & 10’s so that we are able to work with money will begin!

Special Topics:  Fire-Prevention, Grandparents’ Day is next Friday!!!!
Important Stuff: OH!  The kids brought home their towels and because we have Book Nook areas now, they do NOT need to bring them back! THANKS!   

Until next time,
Mrs. SteinmanJ
