Kindergarten
Reading- We have worked on the letters and sounds for f, b, and j.  This week we learned our first vowel pair ai.  The students took home their October songs on Halloween, hopefully you enjoyed hearing them sing them.  
Math- We are working on number sense from 0-5.  This includes recognizing, writing, 1-1 correspondence and comparing these numbers.  
     We welcomed in 5 new students to our afternoon classroom this Wednesday.  They make a great addition to the 4 students we already had!!!

RTI- 1st grade tier 3 reading
The students have been busy reading a variety of books.  Continue to reread these as they come home in the red pouch during the week.  As we begin to focus on writing responses to what we read, I am noticing that some students don't understand the difference between upper and lower case letters.  When reading, have your child locate the uppercase letters.  Discuss why that letter was used within the text.
