3/3
Dear Parents:
During the first few weeks of school we will be doing an
overview of the alphabet, numbers 1-10, and
color/number words. This overview is meant to be a refresher for
our students who attended Pre-K and
a chance for those who have not been in school before to see
numbers and letters. The more you
practice these skills with your child at home, the more
successful they will be throughout the rest ofthis school year.
Every day we will cover the letters, numbers, and words listed
on the above chart. Please make sure you
practice not only the items from that day, but also the items
from previous days.
Please take out the weekly, What are we Learning?, sheet and
place into the page protector in the
folder. Then, hang the page protector on your fridge. These
pages will serve as a daily reminder topractice the important
skills that your child will be learning in kindergarten!
In this folder I have included flash cards as well as several
other activities which you can complete as a
family over the next two weeks. Each day please return this
folder to school with all of the enclosed
activities, and make sure to sign the Daily Practice Log each
night. Students will receive a sticker for
each signature and after they have five stickers they will be
able to choose a prize from the treasure
box.
Have fun learning with your child!
Ms. Buffa
