Good morning!
Here is the link to the information on our Phase 3 of Learning. I have also assigned a Seesaw activity that goes along with the document. If you have any questions about this new phase of learning, or need anything at all, please let me know. I am always happy to help with anything! Reminder: Our Zoom meeting will be this morning at 10:00. Have a great weekend!

Hello, I hope you are all doing well. The news we received last week was devastating to me, as I’m sure it was to you and your child. The end of the year is always so much fun and we make so many great memories together. I am missing each and every student and the classroom family that we have created this year. Our ZOOM meeting this morning was so good! It made me so happy to be able to see so many sweet faces and hear their voices! I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. Please take a moment to fill out the survey below. Every family in the Willard School District will be asked to take this survey. I will call families that do not respond to get the information needed. I appreciate you taking the time to get me the information needed by the district. Thank you!

Monday- Brooke Tuesday- Abigail Wednesday- Natalie Thursday- Elijah Friday- Valentine Day Party Valentine Day Party Our Valentine’s Day party is on Friday, February 14 from 8:45-9:30. Please help your child make a Valentine’s Day box for his or her cards. This can be as simple as a shoebox, or more elaborate if you would like. Please DO NOT label cards with names. It is much easier and quicker at this age if they can pass out a card to each student without finding that child’s box/name, etc… They can simply write who it is from and pass one out to each friend. The kids will exchange Valentines during the party. Feel free to send the boxes and cards in anytime next week. You may want to put the cards in a Ziploc bag to send to school. Please send $2 to help with the cost of the party. Thank you!!!! Weekend Reading Folder I always have parents ask me how they can help their child at home. I would like to start sending home a Weekend Reading Folder. This would include up to 3 books on your child’s independent reading level, as well as our Kindergarten sight words and questions to ask after reading. This is completely optional. If you would like to participate or would like more information, please let me know. Thanks so much for your support!

January 31st- Tiger Pride and 100th Day Reading Groups
We will begin guided reading groups next week! Each group will meet twice a week for reading instruction. Some students will go to Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Childers for reading groups. I am very excited to begin groups. It is fun to see their growth in reading. Working on sight word lists at home will help your child in their guided reading group. The goal for the end of the year is for students to master all 5 lists. Math You may have noticed that students have not been completing all of the pages on their math papers. We are working on addition and learning in ways other than paper and pencil. We are acting problems out, using manipulatives, and telling addition stories. You are welcome to do the problems at home, but there is no need to send the papers back to school. RAZ KIDS I sent a reading note home earlier this week. One resource that is helpful to beginning reader is RAZ Kids. I sent the login information home. I forgot to mention that the password to get to your student's library of books is the duck icon. Data Binders I will be sending data binders home on Friday or at the beginning of the next week. We will be setting academic goals during class next week. Looking through the data binder is a great way for you to see what your child is working on!

We also use them to upload things we are learning to Seesaw! Students will need a pair of headphones at school to use the iPads. There are 4-5 students who do not have headphones yet. I also have a few students who have earbuds and it has been really hard for them to use those. They don’t stay in their little ears. 😊 Please send headphones to school asap. Thank you! Sight Words Sight words are a great start to reading in kindergarten! Last week I sent home List A of sight words with your child. Please practice these at home. When your child has mastered that list, please send it back to school in their red folder. There is a place to sign at the bottom. If they pass the list, I will then put a new list for them in their folder to practice. (Please give me a couple of days, there are days that I will not have time to get to the list) If you lose a list, just let me know and I am happy to send a new one home. Each student can and should move at their own pace! Our goal is that by the end of the year, they will master all 5 lists (lists A-E) for kindergarten. Let me know any questions you may have on this!
