Reminder: Please do iReady at home if Absent

A day missed in Kindergarten is hard to make-up, but here’s something you can do at home! Each student has their own individualized learning path in our iReady computer program for reading and math and it’s available during school hours. Go to clever.com and log in using the QR code on the front of their take home folder. Easy as that! Here’s the schedule we follow at school:

Mondays and Wednesdays: Math (pass off at least 2 lessons each week with 80% or better)

Tuesdays and Thursdays: Reading (pass off at least 2 lessons each week with 80% or better)

The link is always available on the right sidebar of our blog as well [“Clever (iReady)”]. Thanks for helping your child stay caught up on their iReady program when absent!

*Note: In the past, we emphasized getting at least 20 minutes in each subject weekly, but now the emphasis is on passing at least 2 lessons in math and 2 lessons in reading each week with 80% or better. If the lessons are super short (like some of the letter lessons), we encourage them to spend more time and complete more lessons.

What We Are Learning

We are now beginning Unit 9 in Language Arts. Below are the sight words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks.  In addition, we continue to read decodable books and passages. We are also writing sentences about the texts we read.

In math, we will be exploring shapes; flat shape (2D) and solid shapes(3D). We will be naming shapes, comparing shapes, using positional terms, and building with shapes. Individually, the students are working to master their current selected math standard in Nearpod.

In science and STEM, we just concluded our unit on plant and animal needs and we will begin our forces and motions unit.
