PALS

New and exciting things are taking place in Kindergarten! I just love it!  This past week we began PALS in our classroom. PALS is a program that makes sure children are getting a solid foundation in early reading skills.  The game-like PALS activities double the amount of practice students get with phonemic awareness and alphabetic knowledge.  Students are paired for activities that teach pronunciation, letter knowledge and phonemic awareness. Our regular PALS time is scheduled for 20 minutes two or three times a week.  Each month the boys and girls will receive a new PALS partner to work with.
