Ethan H. Shive Elementary School 

Welcome 

to 

Ms. Dry's 

Kindergarten Class

 Web Page!

Where We've Got Miles of Smiles!

Dear Parents,  

Please note that I send home a weekly Friday letter with the most current and up to date information!  Take time to read over it on Friday's just incase there is something you may need to know about school on Monday!  You will find it in the front pocket of their BEE Notebook!

Please remember to look for your child's BEE NOTEBOOK (Bring Everything Everday) every night.  Check inside for special notes, ect. and be sure to sign it every night and send back to school the next day. 

Remember to read with your child and to your child every night.  We will be sending home little readers.  Please read these with your child and let them read them back to you.  Sign the reading sheet and return as soon as you can for another book.  Please remember to check for comprehension after they read it to you.  



HOMEWORK BEGINS   Homework will usually go home on Fridays and be due back the following Friday morning.  If we don not have school on Friday then homework will be due on Thursday.  Please prepare to look for this and assist your child with a proper place and time to work on it in small increments every night.  They will need your help to be successful with this exciting event in their lives!

                                Thanks For Your Support!

Writer's Workshop
This is a time during the day that the students learn to be authors.  We are going to begin with who author's are and what they do. We will begin by doing Kid Writing. This uses dashes, lines, dots, or circles to represent words. As they learn letters and sounds they will begin to use letter strings. This is ok. They will also draw pictures to match what they write about and label what is in the picture. Continue to ask them what they wrote and talk with them about their stories. Remember, writing can also be done at home as well as school. Their writing will get better and better each day. Encourage your child to look at everything as a potential story!  You will be amazed at what they can do!!
