In kindergarten, at home practice is an important factor in mastering skills. The following is a list of activities that can be done at home to help children master these skills. These activities are not mandatory, but are highly recommended!

-Reading: Students should be practicing reading every day! Students can work on tracking print from left to write and attempting to read short words. Being read to is also great practice! Try to read at least 10-15 minutes a day!

-Math: Math concepts are simple to practice at home! Practice counting by ones, tens, and fives. Recognize shapes at the store, at home, and at the park. Work on one-to-one correspondence by pointing to each item counted. Practice decomposing (taking apart) numbers by identifying different groups numbers can be broken up into. For example, the number 5 can be made with a group of 2 and a group of 3. 

-Raz Kids: Raz Kids is an online database that allows students to read, listen to, and answer questions about stories. This is a fantastic website and great practice for literacy! The username is lniggins0 and then click on your child's name. You can access via the "Helpful Websites" link above.

Birthdays are a special time in kindergarten! Our school policy, however, does not allow food items to be brought into the classroom for birthday celebrations. Acceptable non-food items are welcomed such as pencils, erasers, stickers, a donation of a class book, etc.

Specials are activities that students attend outside of the classroom. All-Day Kindergarten students will have the opportunity to attend gym, music, art, and library. 

Listed below are some fun and engaging websites your child can visit for additional practice!

Our classroom is unique in that we have our own entrance and exit door! Students will enter and exit through door #10 which is across from the Emerson School sign near the front playground. If there is a change in your child's regular pick-up routine please notify me via email or written consent before the beginning of the school day.
