Leveled Reader Databases
Please remember that books for reading independently (without teacher support) are best selected from a lower level. We are using the Guided Reading Levels (A-Z) in our classroom. Please e-mail me or respond to this post if you have any additional questions. I hope you find these sites helpful in leveling some of the books in your child's personal library. Enjoy!

Sight Word Help!
A BIG THANK YOU to those of you who are studying those sight word lists I sent home last week. Several children have been BEGGING for quizzes and earning those stickers left and right.
The spelling city website offers games to help learn sight words. This site can also quiz your child on the words. I hope you find this helpful!

DoDEA Curriculum
Just in case you didn't catch it in the previous newsletter, this is the website where you can see the standards for all grades.
http://www.dodea.edu/curriculum/
Choose a subject, click standards (it's a tab towards the right of the screen), then click K (or any grade you're curious about).
These standards are what your child is responsible for knowing by the end of the year.

Math Terminology
Our Math Terminology
These are the math terms that are age appropriate for kindergarten
Adding “togetherwith”
3+2 would be read “3 ogether with 2”
Subtracting “take away”
3-2 would be read “3 take away 2”
Multiplying “taken _ times”
3x2 would be read “3 taken 2 times”
Division “shared out _ times”
15 divided by 3 would be read “15 shared out 3 times”
YES some of the kids in our class are ready to start multiplying and dividing using manipulatives! If you would like a demonstration on how I will be teaching any of these things come on by during one of my breaks (11:00-11:45am or 1:45-2:10pm) or after school!
