Today in your child's folder is a list of the first 20 words on the Fry's sight word list.  Recognizing some sight words is an important component in the development of reading and kindergarteners are expected to recognize 15-20 sight words by the end of the year.  We have been focusing on is, at, the, you, on, I, and am.  Many of these appear in our morning message every day or at least several times a week and I and am occur frequently in writing.  I am sending this list primarily for informational purposes, but if your child has an interest in working on them he or she could create flash cards to practice them, or practice them through short notes- either your child could write a note to you or you could write a short note to your child and have him or her try to pick out certain words.

Today the boys in the class met with Katie Babic our guidance counselor.  They worked as a team to create a giant tower!
