Smart Kids!!


Hello everyone!! I really can NOT believe we are already half way through September!! I am having such a great time with all of your kids. I hope they are telling you about all of the fun stuff we have been doing! As many kids may have told you, if someone gets on orange they get to go on our wall of fame!! We already have 56 stars on our wall of fame….which is so AWESOME!!

In literacy we have been working on making text-to-text connections. We have also been talking about how to treat our friends. Ask your kindergarten kid to sing our friendship song!! The past couple of weeks we have been working on the high-frequency words ‘can’ and ‘the’! We are becoming great readers already!!  We have also been working on rhyming and beginning sounds. This week we got introduced to Spot, he is our dog puppet that helps us read. We LOVE Spot!! We learned about the letter ‘M’ and the sound it makes…ask your kindergartener to tell you!! In writing we have been working on telling stories from our lives. We have begun to write words and match our words to our pictures!

In math we have been working on numbers 1-10. Thanks so much for doing homework with your child. This will help you better understand all of the cool stuff we have been doing. We love our math mats and building numbers!!

Math Mats!!



We just finished up talking about safety. I know we have some super safe kids!!  Please remember to discuss these things with your child. This week we started talking about American symbols. The symbols we will learn are the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty, the American Flag, the White House, and Bald Eagle. We are making another awesome book and doing some cool crafts. On Tuesday we will celebrate Constitution Day. Please be watching for a family project that will be coming home that day.

Bald Eagle!!


We also learned a new song this week called the Tooty-Ta. We love the song and dancing to it!! Take a look:)

Great Dancers!!

Also, I will be starting home visits next week. I can’t wait to see all of you!! You will also be getting a form about conferences. Please return all of your papers by September 26th!! Have a great weekend and GO BIG RED!!

Love- Mrs. Schroeder
