small medium large Welcome to the Room 12 classroom website! Attention Parents: Please sign and return page 73 of your Simon Lake Parent Handbook as soon as possible. Please keep the emergency cards updated with any new work or cell phone numbers. Make Your Day: Make Your Day is a schoolwide program to help children take responsibility for their actions. We teach the kindergarten children that when they do not follow an expectation they get a chance to think it over and try again. It takes a lot of practice and there are no time outs or punishments. The children also learn to decide how many points they have earned for a given period of time based on the expectations they have followed the best they can. The highest number of points they can earn is 10. I find it to be a very successful program. Here are some subjects we will be learning about: Math: We will learn about number writing, graphing, patterns, sorting, numbers between, place value and estimating. Sight words: The children will learn to memorize these words:like, see, it, come, up, we, can, go, can, look, at, here, is, me, my, am, an,and to, this, in, on. Writing: The children will learn to hear sounds in words. We will clap words into their parts to hear syllables such as /pocket/ /book/. We will count how many sounds or phonemes we hear in a word like /c/ /a/ /t/. Reading: We will focus on story elements: setting, characters, problem and solution. Try discussing these with your child when reading a library book. We will work on sequencing: first, next, last. We will be doing guided reading picking books that are appropriate for each child. The children learn reading strategies such as, picture clues and word chunks. Writer's Workshop: The children will learn how to become a writer through units of study: storytelling, letters, lists, labeling, small moments, author study and all about books. Important events each day: Morning: Reading Workshop, daily Morning: Writer's Workshop, Mon., Wed., Thurs. Lunch:11:40-12:10. After rest we listen to a story on tape and then recess. Recess occurs on rainy days with gross motor movement in the classroom. Afternoon choice time: 1 hour *Math centers: 45 minutes - 1 hour Fire Drills: Fire drills occur twice a month. The children will need to follow me, stay quiet, and remain calm. They should not run or cover their ears when they hear the alarm. Fire drills only last a few minutes. We are not able to get coats on chilly days. Conferences: If you would like to have a conference please do not hesitate to ask. Also email me whenever you have a question or concern. cjones@milforded.org
