Mrs. Keith's Kindergarten 2008-2009
WELCOME TO
KINDERGARTEN!
Kindergarten
is an amazing time in your child's life! This is a time of growth,
learning, and change! These changes can be stressful to some children,
but at Logan-Rogersville, we work to make this transition a positive
one for both you and your child! In our kindergarten, we use thematic
units, Saxon Math, and the Scott Foresman Reading/Language series in
the education of your child. Students are given opportunities for
classroom instruction, small group interaction, computer education, and
independent practice. At Logan-Rogersville Primary School, we know,
understand, and love our students! Throughout the year we will
accomplish amazing things! In our classroom, we will have so much fun
while learning! Oh, The Places We'll Go!!!

LEARNING IS FUN!
Our next couple of themes will Pumpkins,
Red Ribbon Week, and Halloween! We also focus daily on
letters, letter sounds, and blends. Learning to read is a process, and
we are
taking our time through each of the steps involved. Listening, as well
as following text from left to right on a page, recognizing letters,
and simply looking at word structure and spacing in a fun way can
awaken the world of reading, right at your child's fingertips! We will
also use our "Smartie" Spelling to stretch out words and begin our
journey into writing. Please
help your child at home throughout the year by reviewing all letters
and letter sounds, "Popcorn" words, and by helping your child put
sounds together to form words! Most of all, read to your child, read
with your child, and listen to your child read! Past Themes for
our year include: Kindergarten, Friendship. Oh, The Places
We'll Go, Apples, Fall, Fire Safety, Bats!!!

KY3 WEATHERSCHOOL FORECAST COMPETITION
CONGRATULATIONS to
Mrs. Keith's
2006-2007 Kindergarten Class for finishing in 2nd Place out of a total of over
200
classes entered in the KY3 WeatherSchool Forecast Contest! Each day our
class predicted the high temperature, low temperature, and
precipitation for the following day. Ron Hearst, meteorologist from KY3
News, delivered our 2nd Place prize on Friday, November 9, 2007. Our
prize would have been a handheld
lightning detector for our class, however the first place class is a
two-time winner, so we instead received a COMPLETE REMOTE WEATHER
STATION (value approx. $3,000)
for our school - how exciting!!! From what I've
seen, I think we just might have some future meteorologists in
our midst! Oh, the Places They'll Go!!!
