August 26, 2013      Classroom 104       Newsletter
To Students and Families, from Mrs. Wise

Greetings, Family Strand Members!
It was awesome to see so many of you at the Manzano Mesa Picnic in the Park!  There was a great turn out, and so much fun! Thank you to sponsors and families for helping make it an evening to remember.
            Congratulations to all students, families and staff for successfully making it through our first whole week of Kindergarten! 
            We were so happy to have our sweet E.A., Miss Olina join us last week! If you have not met her yet, please stop by and introduce yourself.

THIS WEEK’S LEARNING OBJECTIVES for Language Arts and Math:
Language Arts
1. Students will continue working with the letters of our names using lower case letters and capitalizing the first letter only.
2. Students will write and read lower and upper case letters: a, m, p, t. Students will learn the sounds of these letters and begin making words with them!
3. Students will continue to practice classroom routines and behaviors.
Math
4. Students will read and write numbers 1-5, and order the numbers correctly.
5. Students will identify the parts of a book: author, illustrator, front cover, back cover, numbered pages.
6. Students will listen for, and identify rhyming words in books.
7. Students will practice SSR and Buddy Reading.

COMPOSITION BOOKS Thank you for responding so quickly and furnishing composition books for the class! We have what we need, at least for now.

SCHOLASTIC BOOK ORDERS are due Friday.
Orders can be made online with a credit card, or you may bring cash, check, or money order (payable to Scholastic Book Clubs) with your completed order form, to me. The first order is due on Friday, August 30th.  

Initial Kindergarten Assessments will begin this week. I will assess your child’s reading and math skills.  When we are all finished, I’ll be happy to share your child’s results with you.


Text Box: We have P.E. on Thursday this week. Have a Super-D-Dooper Week!
With Love,
Mrs. Wise
