Welcome to Ms. Wojnar's Kindergarten Class!
2022-2023
Hello Kindergarten Families! I am so beyond excited about starting this school year with your child! I hope you all had a fun, relaxing and safe summer break! Kindergarten is such a rewarding and fun grade to teach. I love watching my students grow and witnessing all the amazing things they will be able to do over the year! There are so many fun adventures ahead, and I am so happy I will be part of such a huge milestone in your child's life!
Over the course of the year, your child will be learning letters, sounds, and how to read and write. Your child will also learn math, science, and social studies.
Thank You,
Ms. Wojnar

Communication
The Elms PTN has provided each child with an Elms folder that your child will bring back and forth to school in their backpack. This folder will be used as a tool for us to communicate daily. Each day, your child will bring home this folder. If there is a need to send anything back to school, it will come home in the "Return to School" side of the folder. Homework is one example of something that would be in the "Return to School" side. Any notes from home to school regarding dismissal, lunch money, or any correspondence should be put in the folder on the " Return to School" side. A good parent-teacher relationship is essential for a successful school year. You are always welcome to contact me!

Curriculum
Literacy: We use a terrific phonics program called Fundations. In class, students will work on letter identification, sounds, and letter formation. At home,they can practice by tracing letters with their fingers, starting at the top and going down. As they finish tracing the letter, they can practice saying the letter name, the keyword picture and then the sound. For example, Tt, top, /t/. Additionally, we will be learning 2-3 new trick words each week. These words are trick words that we can not sound out. In the coming weeks, I will be
Writing: Writer's Workshop is a designated time where students become “authors”. After each mini-lesson, students will have independent writing time where they will choose their own topic for their writing and have an opportunity to practice skills and strategies taught in the mini-lesson. By giving the students choices in their topics, the writing becomes authentic, engaging, and meaningful. During this independent writing time I will meet with individuals or small groups to conference and encourage their growth as authors. Students will learn to write, revise, edit, and publish stories throughout the school year. sending home fun ways to practice reviewing these words at home!
Math: Envision 2.0. At the beginning of each topic, we will send home a parent information home page along with our math vocabulary words. You can keep these at home to use for review. After each lesson, we will send home the corresponding homework page to complete at home. These pages are meant to be done with help and returned the following day unless otherwise noted.
Social Studies & Science: Science and Social Studies will alternate thematic units. These units of study will be incorporated throughout our school day!
