• ELAR: We can be a good reader by listening and good writers with special friends.
• Social Studies:We will be learning about authority figures at school and home.
• Math: We will be learning how to compare numbers (0-10), using greater than/less than.
• Science: We will classify and sort objects based on properties of matter.

Below you will find a copy of our nightly homework schedule. Homework is optional, but is highly encouraged. It is a great idea to find a safe place to keep the half sheets that come home with students each week. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions!

In order to help with practicing our high frequency words, we thought it would be helpful to note which words we have already covered in class. We will continue to add learned words to the list throughout the year!

• I
• a
• am
• like

• Every kindergarten class goes to the library at some point on Tuesday. Please make sure you are sending your child's book back in their backpack so they can check out a new book each week. We will start by keeping books at school for the first few weeks.
• Please make sure your child has ONE DRY snack and a water bottle every day. Please try to keep your child's snack separate from their lunch. Please remember at school ONLY water is allowed in a student's water bottle.
• Every kindergarten class is allergy aware. Please do NOT send products with nuts in them for your child's snack. Thank you for your help with this!
• Please make sure your child is bringing their red take-home folder to school everyday. Also, please make sure you are emptying it each night.
• If you haven't already, please send in a pair of headphones for your child to use with their Chromebook throughout the year. They will stay at school and be returned in May.
