Happy Thursday, kindergarten students and families! We had such a full week: we are only two letters away from reviewing the whole alphabet, we finished our tongue twister, we are getting really good at our math games, and we finished Winnie-the-Pooh. Have a great weekend!
As always, reading with your child in the evenings is a great way to grow their mental word bank and fluency, and they may want to show their Math Card Deck to a parent or sibling after dinner!

See you next week for School Day #94.
