I have added all returning students to our Superkids Program online. Parents please use the same password and email that you used during kindergarten...they may log-in as they wish to read all of the stories available to them during our Review Unit...The Review Unit does not contain games, only reading. Games will be introduced again during Unit 1. Parents of new students-a form went home today giving you information about the Superkids. Your child can get online while at school to read, but not at home until I receive the form back that was sent home.

Writing: Use nouns and verbs to complete sentences and looking at the end of sentences to see if the sentence is a question or a statement.

Math: Practice writing the word form of numbers to ten...Vocabulary- less than, greater than, same as, more, fewer....We will also work on number patterns....For example, 1,2,_,_. 5 or 4,_,6,_,8 and students have to fill-in the missing numbers.

Religion: How do we follow Jesus? and treat each other with respect

Social Studies: We will be starting a Social Studies Notebook with all of the vocabulary we use  Vocabulary: country, labor, pledge, flag, liberty...Review the Pledge of Allegiance and the meaning of Labor Day
