Thank you to all of our KC families who attended Curriculum Night this past Tuesday. If you were unable to attend, we placed a handout of items discussed in your child's folder. Some highlights included we will be having our annual Spalding Informational Night on September 21st. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our Core phonics program and how you can help your child at home with practicing phonograms, completing homework, and beginning to read. Your child will begin taking home a leveled reader daily beginning after Fall Break to read for homework and to practice decoding and comprehension skills. Also, our Singapore Math Informational night will be October 26th. This is another enriching opportunity to learn and experience the Singapore approach which enables students to encounter math in a meaningful way through concrete activities before progressing to the pictorial and abstract representation. Lastly, homework will begin the day after Labor Day. For the week of August 28th please work with your child on reciting our poem Whole Duty of Children. Each child will be reciting our poem, with a buddy or independently, during the first week of September.
Next week a copy of your child's first bi-weekly assessment will be sent home. Our first assessment included 8 phonograms, listening to 4 orally spoken words and recognizing the first sound, and sorting and matching for math. These assessments are given one on one with either myself or Mrs. Trujillo. We will try to write as many notes as possible to give you an understanding of what your child's responses included and suggestions for practicing at home. If you have any questions regarding our bi-weekly assessments please don't hesitate to ask. Lastly, we have begun //to send home "Dress Code Reminders". There are written on pink note cards and are reminders of items needing correcting. Please help your child with being able to independently unfasten and fasten belts. Some students wear velcro and magnetic belts which help because of ease of use. Only the top button of shirts may be left unbuttoned and all shirts must be tucked in. Girls must wear bike shorts under skirts/jumpers since we often sit on the floor criss cross. Bike shorts are also necessary for PE and recess time. Again, any questions regarding dress code please feel free to ask. Reminders:
