Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. Hooker!

                                       Announcements

This week we celebrated 50 days of kindergarten and the end of our first trimester.

We are thankful for our kitchen staff who made our Thanksgiving lunch a special meal we could share together!

Our Chromebooks are here! We spent time learning to care for them and log in. They came home today with a copy of their sign in sheets. We made bookmarks for our most commonly used sites. At this time, we are sending the devices back and forth each day. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I am so thankful for each of you and the opportunity to share this year together. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Your child's week with Mrs. Hooker!

In Language Arts this week, we've been practicing sequencing events using words such as "first, next, and last." Ask your child to share a sequence of events such as their bedtime routine using these transition words! 

Tuesday, November 17th is our 50th Day! Can you believe we've been in school for 50 days already?! I will have centers for students to participate in focusing on the number 50. You also received a note for snack and a baggie attached. Please count 50 snack pieces out with your child and put them in the bag. Return the bag on Tuesday and your child can snack on these as part of one of the centers!

This Thursday, November 19th, we will be sharing in a Thanksgiving luncheon served in our classroom. If your child would like the Thanksgiving meal, have them select hot lunch on that day either through the meal app or here at school.

When library books are returned, they have to be quarantined for a week before they are checked back into the system. You may receive an overdue notice about a library book that was turned in. This just indicates that you may have turned it in, but it is not checked back into the system yet. 

The Scholastic Virtual Book Fair is here from November 12th-November 25th! Families will have the chance to purchase books online to help raise money for the media center. A link to each teacher's book wishlist can be found here.

Your child's week with Mrs. Hooker!

In Language Arts this week, we've been practicing Reader's Theater! Students have been enjoying identifying sightwords, finding the patterns in the books, and following a "script" and reading together as a group! The paper books, "About Me" and "With My Family" came home this week with your child! Continue to practice reading these to build fluency.

We have started our spelling tests! These are not words that you need to study at home prior to the test on Fridays. This is just a way for students and I to practice hearing the sounds in a cvc word.

The Scholastic Virtual Book Fair is coming from November 12th-November 25th! Starting next week, families will have the chance to purchase books online to help raise money for the media center. A link to each teacher's book wishlist can be found here.

Next week Novemeber 12th and 13th are half days for parent/teacher conferences. I met with each family in October for conferences so there will be no virtual conferences for kindergarten that week. I will send out a "grow/glow" summary to each family soon reflecting first trimester assessments that correlate with the report card coming home end of November. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
