At this point in time, the kindergarten team has decided to send home a weekly reading log that will be due at the end of each week.

If you would like to reinforce concepts taught in the classroom, the kindergarten team will send home packets of optional work that coincide with the skills being taught in the classroom. Packets will be due at the end of each week and students will receive a special treat if they are completed!

For each chapter, I will complete a practice test with students the night before the actual test. This will give you the opportunity to sit down with your child and review the concepts that need to be mastered. It would also greatly benefit your child for them/you to model and use the vocabulary from each chapter (i.e. plus, minus, greater than, etc.) as much as possible at home so that they become familiar with the words and how they are applied in a real world context. You may use the link below to access the online math book and resources related to each math lesson. When you log onto the website for the first time, you will be required to enter our state, district, and school name. Click on the "Remember My School" box to save the information for the next time you log on. Then, you will need to enter your child's username and password that was provided to you on the passwords paper that was sent home.

Each language arts unit consists of three weeks in which students will learn skills that will be tested on at the conclusion of the unit. Instruction for each week may range from 5-7 days depending on the complexity of the skills being taught. Students would greatly benefit from reviewing classwork that is returned home as well as language arts skills presented in your child's homework packet. You can also assist your child with accessing ConnectEd (online language arts portal) for additional practice with the concepts that are presented weekly. You can access ConnectEd by following the directions below.

• - Log into your child's district Google account (and only that account).

• - Go to www.etiwanda.org/chromebooks and click ConnectEd.

• - Follow the short directions that are listed with the ConnectEd link.

* Please reference the following document for how step-by-step directions on how to log on to the ConnectEd portal.

Directions for Accessing ConnectEd

High frequency words are the most commonly used words in printed text. Your child will be introduced to many of these words throughout the school year. Please reference the Google Slideshow below in order to review the sight words that will be taught in kindergarten. Reviewing the slides with your child at home will help them master the high frequency words presented in our language arts curriculum.
