Day 4

Dear K-1 Families,

Day four of kindergarten was another great day! Today, we met our new teaching assistant Mrs. Jacques! Next, we read Kindergarten ROCKS, dramatized the story as a whole group, and wrote about our favorite part of kindergarten so far. For specials, students went to the library- be sure to ask your child what they did in the library!

We also tried something new this afternoon called buddy reading. During buddy reading students are partnered with a peer and each student has an icon card. If a student has the lips icon, then he or she is the reader. If a student has the ear icon, then he or she is the listener. Half way through buddy reading, students switch icon cards and roles with their buddy. During buddy reading students may choose to use the special story that they brought from home. Please remember to have your child bring in a special book from home that they are familiar with to leave in school if you haven’t already. Please be sure your child’s name is in the book.
