Hello Kindergarten Friends,
I am having some trouble with both of my computers at school, so I apologize I haven't been able to upload my newsletters yet.  I hope to be able to work out the bugs soon.
In our news this week, we have focused on the letter "M", counting and writing our numbers up to 5, learning the parts of a book, our Daily 5 routine, our first 3 sight words, set up writer's workshop and continue learning our Zoophonics Letter sounds and movements.
Mrs. Donovan has welcomed her new class and we have said goodbye to 8 of our classmates this week.  We are excited for their new experience and happy to have a little extra breathing room for our learning in kindergarten!
Students are doing well learning our daily routine and continue to amaze me by the amount they can learn in a day!  Please continue to practice how to tie shoes, cutting, writing and recognizing letters and numbers, and learning our star sight words.
Here are some great websites which are fun and educational:

Be sure to look for your child's new Homework folder.  This will come home each week with a new book for practice at home.  You will also see star sight words coming home on a ring for practice.  They do need to be returned each week for us to add to the ring.

Have a wonderful day!
