On The Last Day of School

No backpacks or lunchboxes are allowed for the last day of school. We will send home all paperwork on Monday and Tuesday so please clean out your child's binder each day. If you child is bringing a lunch on Wednesday, please make it a sack lunch. (And see below for more lunch details.) Kindergarten through 2nd grade awards day will be Wednesday, May 22nd at 9:30. Every child in our class has earned at least one award, so we hope you will all be there to see them receive it. Please plan on arriving early as parking will most likely be an issue that day. After the ceremony, we will have a class picnic on the back playground. Please let us know if you intend to bring a lunch in for your child that day or have them purchase one from the cafeteria. Addison has a last day tradition of honoring the fifth grade graduates with a walk of honor and then giving a big fun send off to the buses. Please consider having your child stay for the entire day Wednesday and /or riding the buses home...

Kindergator Update 9.7

Happy September! We have been working hard to stretch our brains like muscled this week in kindergarten. Here are some highlights from the week: Reading: We worked hard in connecting illustrations to the stories we were reading and trying to interpret what they depict. We also began working in some of our reading groups on looking for tricks before trying to sound out words we don't know. We classify the reading tricks into 7 categories: 1. Letters that work together to make one sound 2. Letters that change their sound 3. Weird "O's" 4. Bossy R 5. Bully E 5. Two Vowels that go Walking Right now we are just working on getting the children to stop and say, "I need to look for the tricks!" before sounding the word out. We will be focusing on teaching each trick individually throughout the year. Math: We began our unit on squares and defining what makes a square a square. We call defining characteristics "attributes" and will be using this w...

Kindergator Update 10.25.19

Kindergator Update 10.25.19 It was wonderful to meet with everyone this week and last week at conferences. I learned so much more about the kiddos as we talked. Thank you for taking time to come in! As always, if you have questions that have come up since our conference, please let us know. Reading: We worked on noticing and sounding out word endings. That means -ing, -ly, -ed, -s or -es. We listened for words with endings in the spooky fiction stories we read in class and then classified them into groups based on what ending they had. We spent lots of time on the tricky -ed ending that can make the sound “d” or “t” or “ed.” Math :   We took a break from classifying lessons and moved onto comparing numbers. We worked on vocabulary like more, greater, bigger and less, lesser, smaller. We learned how to use “the buddy system” to compare numbers by lining dots up and seeing which ones have buddies and which ones are extras. Writing: We are still working on great cha...
