Dear Parents,
I would like to welcome all new students and parents to the 2011-2012 school year. My name is Miss Ramos and I will be your child’s teacher in Kindergarten. My phone number is (619) 336-8901 and I will be available in Room A1 from 7:30 am – 4:00 pm. Please feel free to call or visit our classroom during the week. I will try to update my blog periodically to keep all our tech-savvy parents up-to-date on all the latest Kindergarten news.
We are almost at the end of August and what a busy month it has been. Learning different routines, making good friends, and developing new skills that help children become capable students. Home support is so important and I want to thank all parents who work with their children by completing the homework assignments every Friday.
Despite the short week, everyone in A1 has been busy with learning letters, sounds, reading the SIPPS charts, spelling sight words, and writing in journals. In math, we are learning about sorting, patterning, and numbers 1 to 5. On computers, the students are in both the reading and math programs that become more difficult as they master individual skills.
Beginning today, my class will celebrate the best readers, writers, and mathematicians with special awards. There will be weekly recognition of the academic achievements among the students. This week, we applaud Damian and Thea as best readers, Emilio and Dennie as best writers, and Keean and Aleana as best mathematicians. Also, a big “Happy Birthday” to Damian, who turned 5 on August 24th. Have a great weekend!
Miss Ramos
