Things to Work on these Next Few Weeks

I can't believe how close we are to the end of the year! These next few weeks are going to fly by! As the year is coming to a close, we will begin our end of the year assessments soon. For math, please continue to work on math facts to 5 in both addition and subtraction. Students should be able to know at least 10 facts within a minute. For language arts, continue reading the books your child takes home in their book buddy bag. Also review the kindergarten required sight words for the year. Students should be able to read all 20 sight words within a minute. Students should also be able to write all 20 sight words. The sight words for this quarter have been a little tricky and we only have a few weeks to work on them and may need some extra attention! Thank you for all your support at home! These are going to be some fun and crazy weeks! Please let me know if you have any questions about anything that will be going on these two months!
