The capital teaching order helps teach correct formation and orientation while eliminating reversals.Phonics: Each week a new letter will be introduced. The children should know that the alphabet is made up of two types of letters, 5 vowels and 21 consonants and that there are 26 in all.When a vowel is followed by a consonant, it is short, code it with a breve. Breve: a breve is a small curved line that is placed above a vowel to signify the short vowel sound. Example: bat b ? t Phonics Rule #15 compound wordsA compound word is made up of two words that come together to make a whole word. (doghouse, butterfly)Phonics Rule #16 syllablesSyllables are word parts. We can identify how many syllables are in a word by clapping it while saying it.

Special ProjectsIt's hard to believe that we are already into the middle of November! The holidays are fast approaching and that means the Christmas Bazaar is just around the corner! This years' Bazaar is December 9th through 11th. We are in need of several volunteers to make it fun and successful for everyone. If you can, please sign up to help. We need wrappers, personal shoppers (to help the little ones), people (we'll call them "elves") to help set up and clean up. Many hands make light work!! So pull out your festive Christmas sweaters, Santa hat, and Christmas spirit and join us for a fun filled Bazaar!Thank you!Celebrating Our DiversityWe wish to celebrate our diversity by having family and friends come to present information about their culture and heritage. We would like to have one to two speakers a month who come in to share information about where they are from (if you are from outside the United States) or their heritage (e.g. Polish), as well as their culture (e.g. dress, food, activities, music, housing). The presentation, including snack, should be no more than 45 minutes. By celebrating what is special about all of the people in the world, we can learn to better appreciate one another. If you or another family member is available to come in to present to Kindergarten, please let us know so we can start scheduling these wonderful opportunities for learning. 35528255143500Reminders from Mrs. Chien…228600-63500We go outside every day, weather permitting!
