Week 8 Q2

 


Dear families,

As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. It has been a joy to watch your children grow and thrive in our classroom. Their laughter, curiosity, and kindness brighten each day, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of their learning journey.

Wishing you and your family a warm and joyful Thanksgiving filled with love and gratitude.

With appreciation,
Mrs. Bernal

Notes: 

  • Our cumulative Spalding Phonogram Test will start on Monday December 2nd and will last for 10 days. Keep practicing the single letter phonograms and all the two letter phonograms. As I mentioned before, the best way to practice is you saying the phonogram (all sounds), and students writing the phonogram without looking at the flashcard.
  • We will assess students on their sight words the next two Wednesdays. Remember the minimal benchmark/goal for this quarter 36 words, but the sky is the limit!
  • DIBELS standardized test will be conducted the next two weeks. This is a one on one test and it takes around two weeks to assess all students.
  • Routines at home, staying healthy, eating well, and proper rest will help your child perform at their best. If possible, please try to avoid any doctors appointments these weeks.
  • Field trip information coming soon!

  Notes:  Your child should bring a daily snack to school placed in the front or side pocket of the backpack. On Wednesdays, students can bring two snacks since it is half day and they will have their lunch later for that day. Remember, no juices/liquids, or food that will need utensils like forks or spoons. If you want your child to tell you more about school, this are some ideas on how to ask them about their days: o    “Tell me two things you learned today.”   o    “What was the best part of your day?”   o    “What was challenging today for you?”   o    “Tell me about what you did at recess today.”   What we learn this week! Spalding: This week, students were introduced to Spalding. We explained that spoken words are made of individual sounds called phonograms, and we will learn how to hear and write those sounds. Students learned how to sit down with head high, back straight, hips back, slant the paper, and the p...

  Dear families, These kindergartens are finally mastering all the routines and procedures. They can spend the entire day at school without being tired. They are working hard on all subjects! At home, when they answer a question, encourage your child to answer in a complete sentence, not just yes and no answers. Read daily to them, and then go back and retell the story using your own words. Let them be independent by carrying their own things and help at home with chores. Mrs. Bernal Notes: Phonogram test will include the phonograms taught that week, and on the back of the page the phonograms from the previous week. The purpose of this is to check for retention. Keep practicing all the phonograms at home! Next week, new phonograms will be tested. Also, at the end of the quarter (towards the end of September) students will have a cumulative test for the 26 single letter phonograms. What we learn this week! Spalding:  This week, students were introduced to phonograms:...
