It's nearly November...

Wow--the first quarter ends on Friday, 11/4/11. The year is moving quickly! Report cards will be sent home for "A Day" students on Nov. 9, and "B Day" students on Nov. 10.

This week we have really emphasized the letter names and sounds for a, m, and t. Next week we will add "s" as a focus letter/sound. The students are beginning to blend letter sounds together to "sound out" words.

We introduced "informational text" with the nonfiction big book, Flowers. I am impressed with how well the students recalled facts from the text. We also focused more on comparing and contrasting. The boys and girls are picking this concept up with ease! Way to go kindergarten smarties!
