I have put four new handwriting worksheets on our classroom blog that contain the kindergarten high frequency words. The words are sorted according to which nine weeks they are first assessed; however, please remember that these words are not evaluated by handwriting! I only made these practice sheets as a way for the children to work on two sections of the checklist at one time.
NEEDED
Kendall, Francie & Sophie during 100th day rotations.
th
THE PAST TWO WEEKS WE
read I KNOW AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED SOME SNOW, ALL YOU NEED FOR A SNOWMAN, WHEN IT SNOWS, THE JACKET I WEAR IN THE SNOW, I LOVE SNOW, FROGGY GETS DRESSED, SNOW FRIENDS, CAT AND MOUSE IN THE SNOW and HOP TO THE TOP.
We are in need of some all purpose surface spray cleaner (for example, Lysol, 409, etc.) to clean our tables after lunch. The spray seems to get the tables cleaner than the disinfecting wipes we have.

PARENT READING
There are three short articles in t his weeks Friday Folder titled Big Ideas From Little People, Lets Not Push Kindergarten Children (sorry for the poor quality), and Play: An Endangered Species. Two of the readings deal with things that are being stripped away from young children in schools and the other was written by Dr. Freeman, the first principal of Auburn Early Education Center. If you signed up for the Paperless Classroom Communication option, these readings can be found on the right side of our blog under Suggested Parent Readings.
