Kindergarten News
School will be CLOSED for
students on Monday, January 18th—Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Teachers have a full
day IN-SERVICE scheduled.
For Reading we will continue
with Unit 3 and the story Then and Now.
It is a nonfiction book and we
will talk about the comprehension strategy “draw conclusions”. We will also work with the initial and
medial short /o/ sound and the letter Oo.
Watch for your new Family Times news and practice new high
frequency sight words; you, of, and they!
In Math we will be finishing
Topic 5: Numbers to 11-20 and will begin Topic 6: Numbers to 100. Review counting, reading, and writing
numbers 0-20 and ordering numbers forward and backward. Also practice counting by 1s and 10s to
100. **Be sure to review, sign, and return Topic
5 Test.
Report cards are scheduled to go home on Friday, January 22nd. Please keep in mind that this is a
standards based report card and it is not your typical report card with
“grades”. The scoring rubric is
designed with the standards that are expected to be met by the end of Kindergarten. Your child’s goal is to score a 3, or mastery of the standard, and if
he/she has scored a 1 or 2 in any areas, then these are the areas that your
child needs to strengthen and improve by the end of Kindergarten. Only some of the standards are scored
during the 2nd marking period, so if you see empty areas on the
report card then these standards will be scored in the 3rd and/or 4th
periods. **Be sure to SIGN and RETURN the report
card ENVELOPE. **REPORT CARDS DO NOT NEED TO BE
RETURNED—JUST THE SIGNED EMPTY ENVELOPE! (If you have any questions or concerns, then please
contact the teacher.) DIBELS results for January will be sent
along with report cards and do not need to be returned. Please use the attached DIBELS pages to
continue to practice for the end of the year testing.
Tuesday, January 19th will be Day 7--Guidance.
**Students will need sneakers and gym attire on Thursday, January 21st.
