Mrs. Conalita Reeves Kindergarten Be Here! Be Responsible! Be Respectful! email: reevesc@hck12.net

	About Me My name is Conalita Reeves and I teach Kindergarten at Keplar Elementary. I am married to a wonderful man, Robert Reeves Jr.  We live in Surgoinsville. We have 2 adorable sons, Nikolas who is 6 and Dakota who is 4.  We have 4 cats and 1 dog. Mission For The Class My goal is to prepare my students to the best of his/her ability for the future in a positive, child friendly environment.

	Count to 20. Write first name. (Only the first letter is Uppercase)  John Name and draw basic shapes: triangle, square, circle and rectangle Say your alphabet.  Do not sing it.
Here is a list of the sight words that your child needs to work on:
I am the little to a Have is my like he For me with she see Look they you of are One that three go two Do four here five from
Kindergarten children should be able to read and recognize simple sight words.
I teach math and reading whole group and then for 30 to 45 minutes we work in centers. During centers I pull small groups to work on the skills that we are learning in class. These centers relate to the skills we are learning in class for example, math centers may consist of 1. Counting number of objects to match the number 2. Math game board where they spin the wheel and match the shape to a shape on the board, and 3. Measuring objects around the room or in the basket with cubes and writing their answer on paper provided. This allows the students to have extra time working on the skills we have learned.
Remember that we use a lot of hands on materials in the classroom; therefore if your child misses school they have missed a lot of instruction for the day. Please have your child at school. We miss them when they are not here.

Under Construction!!! See you next year.
