many letters. Be persistent and work until you have 15 to 20 words.

CES Reading Challenge

  • Parents: Say the sentence below slowly to your kindergartner and have them
write the sentence independently. Have your kindergartner check for the
3 rules of sentences. Have them check to see if they spelled their muscle
words correctly. They should fix things they notice. Then you can discuss what
looks great and one thing you noticed that they still need to fix (i.e. capital letter to
start, spaces, digraphs…).She shut the shed door.

                  • A special note from Mrs Baumann
                  Hello Kindergarteners!
                  Pam and I miss you.  Today I have another Red Clover book for you
                  (it is missing it's sticker in the video but it is a Red Clover book).  This is a story
                  about running. Before you listen to the story, click on the book trailer link.
                  There are three videos there about girls talking about running that I thought you
                  might like.
                  Mrs. Baumann
                  p.s.   Run around outside.  Use your senses: What are you feeling when you run?
                  What are you hearing as you run? Are you smelling anything? If you would like to
                  send me your answers to these questions, email me at mbaumann@cesvt.net and I
                  will post your answers on the student work page of the school library website!
