Our Weekly Homework Packet is due Friday. 

Remember to come to your scheduled conference time this week.  Please be on time since we are booked back to back.  Thank you for taking the time to learn about how your child is doing in kindergarten so far.  Thank you for those that came to your scheduled conferences last week.  It was a lot of fun getting to know you better and sharing what your child has accomplished so far this year.

Remember that Friday the 25th is an Early Release Day. We will try and open our Kindergarten gate by 1:40.

Remember to send in $30 for our Classroom Party Fund so that we may begin planning our Fall Party on October 31^st. If you want to come and help please make sure that you have been volunteer trained and turned in your paperwork to Copper Creek’s office.

We have learned all the letters in the alphabet, uppercase and lowercase!  Please continue to work with your child on any letter sounds, lowercase letters, and uppercase letters that they do not know.

This week we will continue focusing on all the letters and sounds, especially the letter Cc.  The students should be able to recognize and reproduce the sound when they see all letters now, in isolation and in words.  This week your child will learn how to properly write the uppercase and lowercase Cc.  You may want to practice this skill at home.  Remember to have them hold their pencil properly and begin at the top or the middle, never at the bottom.   This week your child will continue to learn the high-frequency words:  we, like, my and they should also be able to recognize the following high-frequency words:  I, am, the, little, to, a, have, is. I would recommend that with any skill that your child is working on that you have flashcards for them to use daily for a quick practice.  We are continuing our study of 2D and 3D shapes for the next few weeks.  All students are expected to write their first names with a capital letter followed by lowercase letters.  In writing we are focusing on writing a sentence using our high-frequency words and then initial and ending sounds of unknown words (ex:  My famle wt to a cn.  = My family went to a cabin.)
