Jr. Kindergarten News

Despite our short week our days were full of learning and fun.  We celebrated with Teddy as he told us about his first trip of the year, we celebrated our 10th day of school and had a special visit from Zero the Hero.  He sent his puppet and a special Zero Treat to help us learn the importance of the number zero.















We also began our first unit in language, "Friendly Faces" and started making a book about ourselves, All About Me.  Our sight word for the week was "I".  Next week we will be introduced to the word "like".  We will be making flash cards of our sight words (plus a few more that I feel they need to be familiar with)  to take home so that we can practice our new words each week.  You can help your child learn them by reviewing them each night.  This should not be to time consuming if you practice just a couple of words everyday.


Next week we will be welcoming a new student into our class as well as celebrating a birthday and will have our first visit from Kitty Jones - our Safety officer.  She is a member of the Temple Fire Department and will teach the students once a month about different ways to stay safe.  


I am looking forward to another great week.
