Colored goldfish crackers Friday, Sept. 7th edition Mrs. Hake’s Classroom News 2018-2019 Sneak Peak AT NEXT WEEK Week in Review: This week we learned each other’s name with the help of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! We were introduced to our first rainbow word – me and how to draw a person using mat man. These are foundational writing skills. Our first journal writing was about things we like to do and we learned to pull sounds slowly out of our mouths and to use “magic lines” when we are stuck on a sound. We made a coconut book that matched numbers to object 1 -5 and graphed if we liked or disliked coconut. We made two class books about who is in our room and what we are good at. We sorted items by color, item, and size. We loved beginning our group time when we work as a team and rotate through tasks! Theme for the Week: Friends and Family Letter of the Week: Ff Math: Sorting, patterns, #0 Science/Social Studies: Traits of a good friend and citizen Rainbow Word: my Show & Tell: We will share our family photo page on Friday, September 14th.

My email is: khake@tippcity.k12.oh.us Mrs. Hake Since next week is “All About Family and Friends” week I wanted to share a bit about myself with you. I attended Miami University and received a degree in Elementary Education. I also have a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Wright State University. This is my 20th year teaching. I am excited to get to know all of my kindergarteners this year! I am married, and have two children: Carson 12, and Colby 9. I can’t wait to learn more about each of your children not only this week but all year as they grow! Warm up hands to tie shoes and to cut by using fine motor muscles.

If you have not received an email, or prefer a different email, let me know which email address you would like me to use to send out important information throughout the school year. Thank you so much! My email is: khake@tippcity.k12.oh.us Unfinished Work: Unfinished work is very common at this point in the year. Please do not be concerned. Feel free to complete work when students show interest but please do not return it to school. Please do not view this work as homework. We are all still adjusting to the pace of school.
