Hello!

The first two days of kindergarten were fantastic days. Every student came to school ready to learn and work hard-so wonderful to see the passion and excitement they already have for school!

Here's a brief breakdown of what we'll cover on our first full week!

    • Above/Below
    • Over/Under
    • In/Out
    • Right/Left
    • Top/Middle/Bottom
  • We will also be looking at basic graphs and working on grouping objects according to color, size, and type. 
Reading: Lesson 1
  • The letters Mm and Ss (handwriting and recognition)
  • High frequency word "I"
  • Robust Vocabulary: complained, talent, encourage
  • We will also start delving into our smartboard and begin learning the basics!
