Dear Families-

The first couple weeks of school have gone great! We are working on appropriate behavior in the classroom and reviewing kindergarten concepts.

Here are some of the things we are working on:

Reading-We are working on identifying what happened in the beginning, middle and end of a story and knowing what the title, author and illustrator of a story are. We are also working on reading and sounding out words.

Phonics- We are currently reviewing the different letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make.

Writing- In writing we are practicing stretching out words in order to hear all the sounds which helps us spell them. We are also working on adding drawings to our writing to help tell the story.

Math- We are working on writing our numbers and bar graphs. We are also going over putting numbers in order.

I will update this site frequently with what we are working on, spelling lists, special assignments and important dates to remember.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know! My e-mail address is jcochran@lpatucson.org.
