Welcome to Ms. Fisher's Kindergarten!

Kindergarten is a great adventure in learning. We work hard on beginning reading skills including letter recognition, connecting letters with sounds, sounding out words, and learning sight words. Learning reading sight words will help your child become a more successful beginning reader. Here is a list of sight words your child should know by the end of the year:   

I     am     little     to     a     have     is     we     my     like    he     for     me     with    she     see     look     they     you     of     are     that     do     one     two     three     four     five     here     go     from     yellow     green     blue    what     said     was     where     come

One of the best ways to help your child with reading is to read with him/her every day.  Be sure to write down the time spent reading on the Book-It calendar taped to the front of the home folder.  The goal is to read at least 300 minutes a month.

We also work very hard in math.  Have your child practice counting sets of objects.  Your child should be able to make sets of objects 1-20 by the end of the year.  The counting goal is to be able to count to 100 by the end of the year.

DON'T FORGET!

    *Check and sign the home folder daily.

    *Send a healthy snack labeled with your child's name 
     every day.

    *Dress for the weather. Remember to write your child's name inside    
      his/her jacket.

    *Read!

Thanks for your help and support!
