Pre-Decodable: The First Day of Kindergarten*
*Please have your child read and re-read the pre-decodable and the decodable books that are sent home. Depending upon your child's reading abilities these books will range from very easy to challenging. However, it is still good practice to have your child read and discuss these books with you at home.

MATH
We will continue to work on identifying, representing, and writing numbers. Students will also be working on the concepts of same and different through sorting activities. Each week students work in their Math Journals. Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem.

LION'S QUEST (Q-Bear)
This week students are learning about decision making. We will be stressing the importance of thinking about their choices BEFORE making a decision.

SHOW AND SHARE
Friday! Remember to have your child practice sharing at home. All students do not need to share every week.
