Here is my newsletter for the month of.......
October News from Mrs. Maybee
Dear Parents,
Our kindergarten year is off to a very good start. The children are getting to know each other and making friends. They seem to like school and I am enjoying them. We are working on following school rules and classroom routines. Ask your child about walking in line, taking turns, raising their hands, being good listeners and how that all works with “clipping up and clipping down.”
Reading: In Reading, we use a curriculum called Reading Street. The students have already learned how the alphabet works, rhyming words, letter naming, and have listened to and discussed some new stories. Ask them about the stories at home.
Math: In Math, we have been working on counting to 20 and recognizing and writing numbers 0-9. One to one correspondence is very important when they count out objects, especially as the amount gets larger. Also, we have been talking about shapes and their attributes.
Homework: The students are given a homework packet on Monday and are asked to return it on Friday. These are activities that shouldn’t take very long to complete each night. I would really like the students to practice the decodable readers and phonics stories that come home each week as well. You should receive two books a week. Please practice reading these with your child nightly for extra practice. Be sure they track with their finger as they read. All your support at home makes a difference at school. Thanks!
Reading Logs
We will be doing monthly reading logs so please fill out and return at the end/beginning of eac month. (Hopefully we will be doing Pizza Hut BOOKIT! Program when supplies come)
Clothing: The cold weather is arriving. Please send your child to school with a jacket each day, as they will continue to go outside for recess, even on really cold days. You may also want to send an extra change of clothes to keep in the room for abackup.
Parent Help:
Within the next month or so I will start taking in parent volunteers to help in the classroom and out of the classroom. If your are interested please let me know through email alisonmaybee@selah.k12.wa.us or by talking with me. You must have your volunteer form turned into the office and background checks up to date. If you need forms they are loctated in the office.
