Another fun week in Kindergarten. He has learned two more words this week, the & are. He has began to write simple sentences at home. The theme study has moved into halloween. I thought his bat was pretty cute. What a great way to save his little hands. He started a penny jar a few weeks ago for a homework assignment. It is really surprising how fast the pennies are saved. Joey is learning to count by fives and tens. He is getting really excited about Halloween. We have pulled out all of our Halloween books, and started reading one before bed each night.
Sunday, we made Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins. Yum-O!! Joey sure is getting good at measuring and pouring ingredients in the bowls. He loves to stir and fill the pans with the batter. Might I add, not with much of a mess.

Love the bat! It is fun to see other teacher's cute ideas. Wish I could have a taste of those yum-o muffins! Joey, keep up the great work. Susie, you should start a "word wall." Put ABC cards up around his room, then on index cards write each word that he has already learned and place it under the correct letter card. As he learns new words, add to the word wall. You both will be amazed while you watch his walls fill up with words he can read and write!
By the way, if you use lined index cards, you can use the lines as the guidelines like Kindergarteners use for writing. That will help your letters look like those he is used to seeing at school. Choose three lines in the middle of the card. The top line is the "head line", the middle line the "belt line" and the bottom line is the "foot line." Capital letters and tall lowercase letters should start at the head line. The shorter lowercase letters (like o and a) will begin at the beltline and continue onto the footline. Lowercase letters like y and j go down into the "basement" (the line under the 3rd line.
Oh I really love the ABC card idea. I had bough some sentence strips. Then I cut each one into four pieces. At the end of the week I write his new words on each card. Each night for homework he will copy each word 3 times. He writes them on the Kindergarten paper.
ABC cards as in flash cards?? Or just like big single letters of the ABC?? Use both Capital and lowercase??
This is great he was needed something new for his boarder in his room. Great idea!!
Not like flashcards, although depending on the amount of space you have to devote to this, that would work. Like bulletin board cards with the alphabet on them. It is best if they could have both upper and lowercase on them. Usually, you can buy a set that teachers display along the classroom wall. They usually have the upper and lowercase letter with a picture that begins with that letter under the letters.
Ok, thank you!! I will go look today for them. This is going to be fun.
