Message from Mrs. Dockter
Hello,
What a fun Friday for our Jog-A-Thon! We ran so many laps and every kindergartener worked so hard and never gave up! That is amazing for such little bodies!!! Thank you for sharing your support for your child and our school during this event. The kids even got me to run with them!
This week is full of fun and learning as we dive into more advanced learning, skills, and strategies across various subjects.
Have a lovely week,
Mrs. Dockter

Our Busy Classroom
Reading and Phonics
We are also working on drawing conclusions and inferring as we read and analyze text/photographs. We are practicing these strategies during our read alouds and our chapter book that we have started. We are reading, “Magic Tree House Dinosaurs Before Dark”
We have also been tracking and working heavily on our high frequency words or "heart" words as some students will refer to them as. These are the words we should recognize by sight and read them fluently. The goal at the end of the year is to have all 41 words read fluently by sight. If you need another copy of the high frequency words please let me know and I can send one home with your child.
Math
Social Emotional
We are focusing on the skill of curiosity and problem solving when we need to figure something out with our peers or adults around us.
