Kindergarten Stories: Week 7

Jeff and I had Jakob's parent/teacher conference last Monday, October 4, 2010.  He is doing well and on his overall pre-assessments he needs to primarily work on learning the sounds to each letter.  He knew majority of the capital and lower case letters.  His teacher mentioned knowing the lower case letters was really good because some students do not know the lower case starting off at the beginning!  Jakob has been doing well with the sounds as we work through each one.  It's really cute to see him to the acting out parts to some of the sounds.  For instance, for the sound /w/, he puts his hands out and starts saying the sound while acting like he's turning records!  For the sound /l/, he pretends to lick a lollipop as he makes the sound.  He really enjoys learning and doing well in school.  We also started giving him stickers to place on a calendar if he is on green at the end of the day.  At the conference, his teacher said his behavior is much better as he is really excited to get that sticker at the end of the day!!  At the end of the week if he has all the days filled up, we go get a small reward (slurpees, etc).  Below are other papers he brought home last week from school.
