We will continue our study of time this week. Please review your child's classwork, and help them practice the concepts at home!
We are practicing reading "short a" books this week. Your child's reading fluency (how fast they read) improves when they read books that contain words they do not need to decode (sound out). Your child should be reading EVERY day!
Sounds Learned: /s/, /m/, /r/, /t/, /b/, /n/, /h/, /a/ (short), /v/, /p/, /c/, /g/, /f/, /l/, /i/ (short), /k/, /kw/ (sound for q), /d/, /z/, /o/ (short), /ks/ (sound for x), /w/, /e/ (short), /y/, /j/, /u/ (short)
Sight Words Learned: I, see, my, like, a, and, to, is, go, here, for, said, the, play, are, she, he, have

Preventing the "Summer Slide"
A parent recently asked me what she can do to help her child practice reading over the summer. Here are some ideas that can help your child retain what they have learned this year:
- read easy (cat, hat, pig, etc.) books every day
- practice sight word flash cards
- do a few pages in a 1st grade workbook each day (these can be purchased at Staples)
- read to your child every day
- helpful websites/apps- starfall.com, Duck Duck Moose Reading (app), Reading Eggs (online reading program), Pocket Phonics (app)
Play Day (repeat from last week)
Play Day is scheduled for Friday, May 31st. For those families who are new to Southside, Play Day is an all morning event when the school is separated into teams to compete in various activities. On Play Day, send your child to school covered in sunblock, and in their team’s color (team colors will be announced soon). A free BBQ for the kids will be held around noon. This will also be a minimum day (pick up at 12:45).
Promotion Ceremony (repeat from last week)
The kinder promotion ceremony is scheduled for June 6th 10:30-11:15 am. After a brief ceremony on the side stage (by the parking lot, so bring blankets and lawn chairs), we will gather for some goodies and pictures on the playground. Kids are dismissed after the ceremony!
Important Dates
Friday, May 17th: Talent Show (evening performance only)
Monday, May 27th: No School (Memorial Day)Thursday, June 6th: Last Day of School & Promotion Ceremony
