Things to Know

WOW!! We had a great first week. Everyone is settling in, getting to know each other, and getting to know the routine. Thank you for supporting your child in this new adventure.
Spirit Dress: Will be next Thursday. On Spirit Dress days students can wear a Vis shirt (red K t-shirt or another Vis shirt) with their uniform. Girls: blue leggings, Vis shirt, school shoes. Boys: Vis shirt, blue pants, school shoes.
Absences: If your child will be absent from school please fill out the attendance form in the Vis school app. If you are picking your child up early-you must pick them up in the Heart (door 5) and sign them out at the desk. Thank you!!
Related to our morning routine, K–5 students should be walking independently into school each morning. This helps build confidence and allows students to transition smoothly into their school day. If an adult needs to escort a child into the building, they will need to enter through Door #5 and check in at the front desk using our Raptor security system. For the safety of our students, no visitors or guests will be permitted into the building without a name tag and badge. We greatly appreciate all families honoring these safety and security procedures and helping us maintain a welcoming environment for our students."

Last Week at a Glance

Language Arts/Morning Work: Last week we listened for rhyming words, isolated beginning sounds, and joined two words together. We read and talked about The King of Kindergarten and The Queen of Kindergarten. For word work we matched rhyming words. We practiced holding a pencil the “Kindergarten way” and traced different kinds of lines. We also learned the names of the lines-top, dash. base, dot.

Math: We explored the numbers 1-2-3. We practiced showing them in different ways and found groups that matched. We are building our number sense. We played Kindergarten Yahtzee with a partner.

Religion: We learned the prayer God Gave Us This Wonderful World.

Social Studies: We read the books Our Class is a Family and Our School is a Family. We made a poster showing our class. We talked about the LS 3 R’s-respectful, responsible, ready-what do they look like and sound like in our classroom.

Writer’s Workshop: We did a Name Walk-writing and reading each other’s names.

Spanish: We learned good morning, good afternoon, and good evening and drew a picture to go with each one.

Art: We read the book Mr. S. Then we drew a picture of what the students saw out the window. Next class we will add paint!

Morning Meeting: We did the “Say Your Name and When You Do We Will Say It Back To You” greeting and I See for the activity. The morning work was Legos.

Chapter Book Read aloud: We read Hi! Fly Guy!
