4K Newsletter for April 15-19, 2024

 4K Families,

Hi Everyone! This week, we are on Letters Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, and Jj of our sixth time through the alphabet. Right now, 88% of the kids are meeting the end of the year goal for alphabet recognition, and 91% of the kids are meeting the end of the year goal for knowing the letter sounds. I am so proud of them, it is amazing!

We are working in our first kindergarten level book this month. We are thinking all about letter sounds and how they go together to make words.  We really have been enjoying the Graphogame app. It is really good for practicing phonemic awareness.  Some kids even said they have it at home now. 

Each day, the kids are encouraged to write their name and the numbers 1-20. They are really getting good at this. Some of them can even write all the numbers without looking at the example on the board.  Way to go, 4K!

During playtime, they have been choosing to play games together like memory match, they have been doing projects or working on books in the writing center. I have seen some great cooperation and problem solving during this time which is another goal for 4K. 

PM class update: We are switching to a Friday library time. From this week on, we will go to the school library on Friday instead of Wednesday.  Thanks!

Here's to a great rest of the week!

Miss Gilding
