End of Year Kindergarten Test: will be on Tuesday for our class.  We have been practicing very hard for this.  Please continue to practice over the weekend.  We will be writing as many words as we can in 10 minutes.  These should be short words that can be easily spelled like sight words and word family words.  No nonsense words or longer words that we are unsure of the spelling.  Also, they will be writing 2 sentences that are read aloud one word at a time.  Finally, everyone will be pulled individually to name each letter, make all letter sounds (including long and short vowels), and name a word for each letter sound.

Thanks for returning the assessment packets that were signed and returned in the folders.  If you have not done that yet, please do so as soon as possible.  We are so proud of the progress and hard work!

No written homework for the rest of the school year.  Please continue to read nightly and practice sight words and letters and sounds.

This will be the last official newsletter/blog update for the school year.  We will continue to send date reminders and informational items in the folders, so please check it daily and clean out all of the papers nightly. Thanks for your cooperation.


Thank you so much for all of your time, cooperation, and hard work put in this school year.  The students have shown so much progress because of it.  If you have any questions or concerns, please continue to email, write a note, or call.  Many Thanks!
