class news Miss Jackson’s A Note from the Teacher Week of January 6th A Note from the Teacher What’s Happening in... Parents, as we try to keep healthy from all of the little bugs and viruses going around, we have almost used all of our hand sanitizer. If you would please send in a bottle with your child that would be greatly appreciated! Homework started this week. Please turn it in by the due date, unless your child is absent. In that case it will be due when they return to school. Please review and practice all sight words with your child. It is crucial for them to know these words, so that we can begin reading!  You can make them into flashcards and practice them with your child every night. Please practice reading with your child. The books that come home in their red folders are great!  Please work with your student on their handwriting. Have students practice counting. By the end of kindergarten they must be able to count to 100. Some fun ways to practice counting is to have your child count toys, pennies or cheerios to name a few. If your child comes home with unfinished work, please complete it with them and send it back. Please put all notes in your child’s folder. Don’t forget to clean out your child’s red folder each night to make sure you don’t miss any important papers. Letter recognition – We focused more in depth on letter Zz. We also focused on the sounds Vv makes. Sight Words – who, as, had Math – We have been working on making 10 with different equations. We also started working with “Math Mountains” and how to break down numbers, such as 7 is 5 and 2.
