What's Happening

WOW!  Parent conferences are finished and the year is flying by.  The amazing thing is how well students are doing. 

We are working on the doubles addition facts and will soon move on the +1 facts in math. 

In language arts most kids are writing sentences with beginning capital letters and ending punctuation marks as well as skipping spaces between words.  We have also finished the 2nd set of sight/spelling words and will soon test on the third list.  One third of the class is already reading stories with several others getting ready to start. 

We are also learning how autumn effects the weather and how the weather effects our surroundings. 

Next we are moving on to the middle ages where we will read stories about knights and dragons before we create our own family shields and dragon mask . 

Kindergarten is AMAZING!

In Christ,
