Kindergarten NewsletterWeek of October 12, 2015 Mrs. Riedy

*I loved seeing the responses from parents this week about the rhyming HW. It looks like it created a great opportunity to practice rhyming in a really fun way! I will look for more homework games in the future. Your children were SO excited to tell me about how many times they won against you!

*We had our first mystery reader on Wednesday and the kids had a blast! Feel free to email me if you’d like to sign up!
