A picture update!

We've been super busy learners these past couple of weeks! Take a look at what we've been up to :)

We can sort objects by shape, size, color, and texture.

Table 5 working together to count to 20.

                                             

Practicing our power word "like" and using finger spaces.

We also use marshmallow spaces... these are more tasty :)

One of our math tub activities!

Each student received the letter l, i, k, or e.
Then I let them loose as they found other students in the room
that could help them make our power word "like."
These guys were the winners! :)

Online Reading Resources

Dear Families,

Wherever your child may be as a reader, American Reading at Home is a wonderful tool to meet your child's needs and help them grow as a reader. This is a very user friendly website that I would like to encourage you to use with your child nightly. There are various levels of books (1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 1G, 2G) that are available for your child to read, as well as coaching tips for you to use as your little learner begins their reading journey.

For more information on coaching and what each reading level represents, visit American Reading at Home, click on coaching on the red navigation bar (as shown below), and then select the reading level you'd like to learn more about. We will be focusing on 1Y-2G this year in kindergarten. 

In the weeks to come, I will be meeting with each student to have a reading conference. During this time we will identify their independent reading level and choose a power goal. A power goal is a short term goal that helps each student know what skill they need to work on to master their current reading level. 

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask!

Mrs. Barinas
