Looking forward to a kind and lively week in kindergarten!  We will continue to review all the letters with a focus on K- Kayo Kangaroo  and L - Lizzy Lizard.  Have your child show you the signal and sound.  Capital K  and Lowercase k can be tricky to form.  Check that your child is printing correctly.  It is difficult to retrain muscle memory so best to form properly from the beginning.  A fun way to practice letter k formation would be to put some ketchup on a square of tinfoil and print lowercase k.  Fun = Learning! We will continue work on numbers to 5 in Math.Poem to chant this week is  "On   Halloween". Let your child read to you.  Praise and give whatever support necessary.  If they are not looking  at the text during this first reading praise anyway.   Then help your child with 1:1 matching by having them use a strong pointing finger.  Lift the finger and put down under each word.  Do not have them point under the picture.  You can also ask them to find the word / The /  by putting a pointer finger at the beginning and end of the word. Help to find.  Praise attempts by saying "I like the way ..."  Encourage them to read with fluency.No new sight word this week.  Continue to practice - I, like,  the, a, is Lots of activities - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.   Check home page.  Costumes areto be worn on Wed. afternoon only.   Happy Halloween!!!
