Fire Safety

This week our Kindergarten class has been busy learning how to stay safe around fire.  We learned to call 911 when there is an emergency.  We learned to stop, drop, and roll if our clothes catch on fire.  We practiced a fire drill at school.  Please take some time this weekend to talk with your family about your fire safety plan at home.  What is your family's meeting place?  This is also a good time to practice your address and phone number with your child.  It is very important for your child to know this information in an emergency.  Jeremy O'Brien (Justin's dad) is a firefighter.  He came to our class and taught us how to be safe during a fire emergency.  He dressed in his firefighting gear so we could see what a fireman looks like and would not be afraid if a fireman was helping us.  Enjoy looking at the pictures from his visit!

We finished our 6th Jolly Phonics sound book (y, x, ch, sh, and th).  We only have ONE sound book left to go!  Continue to practice reading and writing words with the sounds, especially the double letter sounds!  Please remember to help your child complete the Word List homework!  Completing this homework is very beneficial for helping your child GROW as a reader!

We have been very busy learning how to "stretch out our sounds across our fingers" to write words to label pictures during writer's workshop!  We are very good at writing 3 letter words but writing longer words can be very challenging!  Next week we will learn and practice writing sentences in our stories.

In math we continue to study 3D shapes!  The students are really beginning to identify these shapes in their environment.  Continue to practice identifying these shapes at home!
