Framingham uses a program called Fundations to teach important phonics and handwriting skills. Research indicates that systematic and explicit phonics instruction is effective for all children. Fundations provides a systematic and explicit approach to reading and spelling with phonics. We will combine this instruction with reading good literature, which is just as important for your child's development.
Each week I'll be teaching your child new letters - how to say the letter, what the letter sound is, and how to write the letter. You can help reinforce this learning at home. I will be posting the Fundations home support information here, weekly. Be sure to check it out so that you can be a part of your child's learning! This coming week I will be introducing letters T, B, and F. It's August 1st! That means in just a few short weeks my classroom will be full of new faces. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of my new students and their families. One of the best parts of my job is that I get to be part of the magical changes - physical, social, academic, and emotional - that happen in the coming 10 months. I feel so grateful that I get to grow and learn right a long side my Kindergarteners.
Your child should be receiving a letter from me any day now. I put them in the mailbox this morning! Please be sure to share and read it with your child. REMINDER: Our PARENT-ONLY Orientation takes place on Monday, August 29 from 10am-11am. This will be a time where you will learn what to expect from me, what I expect from you, and how we can make this truly a wonderful and amazing year for our entire community. I am really looking forward to this new school year! |
