Dear Families,

Wow! Thanks to ALL OF YOU for helping your students remember to bring their Just Right Reading Bag to and from school each day. They are doing great and their reading skills are improving!

Language Arts: Our Houghton Mifflin stories will continue to be fiction stories. These stories will give us an opportunity to  think about the topic, main idea and the details from a story. We will also read many books about fall and graph the similarities and differences from summer. 

Grammar:  We will work to see the differences between a phrase and a complete sentence.

Writer's Workshop: We will begin this program starting with writing a personal narrative looking at a small moment in our lives and the BIG THING THAT HAPPENED during that small moment. 

Word Wall Words: Your children will learn new word wall words each week and together we will put them on our Word Wall. Listed below are the word wall words from Kindergarten. It is my hope that you will make a word wall at home or make flashcards to practice daily with your child. This will help your child with reading, writing, and spelling.
