It was so nice speaking with all of you at conferences.  Next week we are back to full day Kindergarten:)  We will have our first World Language class on Monday afternoon!

Good Readers...

• Find patterns and notice where they change.
• Preview books - look at the cover and pictures.
• Look for sight words in their books.

Our Shared Reading this week was the "at Family Poem."  We looked for sight words and all the words ending with the -at sound (cat, mat, bat, sat, hat).

Sight Words - our two new class words are that and with.  Individual sight words were sent home this week.
