***As you may have noticed by the emails that you have received, I have changed my school website over to a blog site.  I have tried to enter all of your emails into the site so each time I update it, you should be receiving the new posts.  If you are not getting any emails from my site, please go to the blog on our school website under CLASSES and my name and enter your email.  If you still aren’t receiving emails, please email me directly or send me a note in your child’s folder.  I will try to post my Friday newsletter each week, along with sending out my paper copies, just in case it gets lost.  I hope this will be helpful and informative for all of you to keep you updated with what is happening in our class and at WS!J

We have been doing a lot of practice with our “popcorn” (sight) words here at school!  So far we have about introduced 12 words from that list that was sent home before Christmas.  I will be introducing a few new words each week that we would like the kids to know by the end of Kindergarten.  This week we introduced 2 more words:  you & what.  Please keep reviewing all of the “popcorn words” with your child and reinforce our new words as they come home.   In case you lost the checklist that I tested your child on, our “popcorn word”, sight word, list includes:  and, a, come, I, like, me, my, see, the, to, we, with, what, you.  Thanks so much for all of your hard work at home!  It makes such a huge difference!!!

        The small black and white easy reader books that I have made for the kids will continue to come home.  These books will have the sight words that have already been introduced along with other words that can be sounded out.  Please continue to have your child read them to you, sign your name and have your child return them for a treat.  Thanks so much for all of your help!:)

        Your family snowmen have been rolling in this week and are wonderful!!!  Thank you all so much for helping your child with their projects because are so excited to share them with their friends!  Please try to have the snowmen returned by January 12^th if possible, or whenever they are finished.  Thanks so much!J
