Reading: We focused on the book Alligators and Crocodiles by Laura Marsh. We had to learn real facts about our Addison Mascot! We learned words like: hatchling, prey, reptile, snout and senses. 

Math: We continued our lessons on counting and worked hard on teen numbers. We spent some time on listening for the difference in teen numbers like 13, versus "ty/dy" numbers like 30. As you listen to your children count, try to help them make the "th" sound for numbers like 13 or 30 instead of the "f" sound. This may help them learn to count higher since they won't confuse the 30s and 40s by saying "firdy."

Writing: We are continuing to work on hand writing and making sure the students are trying to touch the right lines depending on the letters they are writing. We are also asking for students to add more details to their pictures. These details will help them write fuller stories as we work on becoming authors.

Leader in Me: We are still working our way through introducing each habit. We have 2 more to get through this week and then we will be sending a little book home that introduces the habits to your family! The school will focus on the first habit "Be Proactive" at school during the month of September.

Welcome to Addison Kindergarten!  We are looking forward to working with your children this year.  To assist us in making this a successful school year, it would be helpful if you would: 1.       Please send in a NUTRITIOUS snack to school each day with your child.  We encourage fruit, yogurt, cheese and crackers, etc.  (Please no candy, cookies or sweets or juice.) They may bring a water bottle to class each day if they choose to. 2.       Let your child know what their snack is each day and where it can be found in their backpack. (Sometimes kindergarteners get confused about what is their lunch versus snack or forget they have one.) Also, please do not send snack in a lunch box. It is confusing for everyone! 3.       Put your child’s first and last names in all articles of clothing and other items that might be left at school:  Sweaters, jackets, hats, lunch boxes and back packs. 4.       Emphasize that toys must stay at home! 5.       Quiet Time - please send in a r

Science Lab Volunteer Letters

Hi Kindergarten, I have been trying to think of a way to get thank yous from kids to our wonderful science lab volunteers.  Would you be able to post a message to your students to write cards/letters to the volunteers and bring them when they pick up their belongings at Addison?  They are welcome to thank more than one volunteer because there are so many for kindergarten.  I will have a labeled basket on each homeroom table for them to drop them in and I will pick them up and mail them to our volunteers. Thank you!   Here are the names of volunteers for each K class: Barnwell: Mrs. Maddox Mr. Singletary Mrs. Ely Mrs. Rodich Mrs. Sweeney Mrs. Small Walston: Mrs. Singleton Ms. Shelton Mrs. Sweeney Mrs. Maddox Mr. Singletary Wilkinson: Mr. and Mrs. Busse Mr. Abdulbaki Mr.  Singletary Mrs. Maddox Powers: Ms. Sharpe Ms. Nati Ms. Coram Ms. Plambeck Mr. and Mrs. Silva Mr. Burkhead Mr. Singletary Mrs. Maddox Rodgers: Ms. Ruetz (Desmond's grandma) Ms.
