Thanks for all you do at home to help with your child’s education. I appreciate your support! Keep up the great work with the leveled books and the homework!

We will be testing your child beginning the first part of May for DIBELS, Kindergarten Assessment, and current reading levels. I encourage you to look over your child’s assessment from 3rd quarter and review with him/her any items that have an “N” by them. The 4th quarter assessment covers the following skills:
• Predicting what a story is about by looking at the pictures
• Retelling a story including beginning, middle and end
• Creating a series of 3 rhyming words (ten, hen, men) for example
• Reading all 25 kindergarten sight words
• Writing a story with a picture (including capital, spaces, and ending mark)
• Subtraction to 5
• Naming days of the week in order
• Identifying parts of a calendar
• Time/Money
