[MOSAIC] Kindergarten preparation
Does anyone do a Kindergarten Welcome Packet type of thing for their entering Kindergarteners in the Spring? Our superintendent is thinking of starting this - sort of a Welcome to K packet of possibly a book and/or sight words and/or parent tips - that would be for the kids we've registered to begin K in the fall. We'd try to get it to them before summer starts. I'm thinking perhaps we could get a free sample level A book from readinga-z.com (everything has to be very cheap to do it county-wide), and possibly some parent tips from readingrockets.com I'm not sure about the sight words. What do you think? Should a pre-K student be studying sight words? We're a rural, high ESL population in general, with pockets of middle class families. Any ideas you have that can help, or if you've done something like this before, would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [MOSAIC] Kindergarten preparation
I think a welcome packet would be a great idea. A book from A-Z might be a good idea so that parents can be prepared for what will be expected of their kids. It seems like I remember an A-Z book called Getting Ready for School, but I'm not sure of the level. I think sight words might be a bit much, but maybe instead you could do something with the alphabet. You might be able to find a file folder game or an activity off of the FCRR website to produce, giving them a set of alphabet flashcards to manipulate. You could produce upper and lower case letters, some pictures with Elkonin boxes under, maybe filled-in, except for beginning sound - you might be able to find worksheets that can be laminated and then include a dry erase marker. I would also suggest a sentence strip (or name plate) with the child's name (first and last) - this, too, could be laminated for the child to practice. If you did want to do something with sight words, there is a great sight with a complete Dolch kit that can be downloaded. It's called theschoolbell.com. There are flashcards, a practice book, games, and phrase lists. I would think this would be a better welcome to first grade item, though. I would suggest teaching the parents about the 5 components of reading, and then focusing them on the phonemic awareness area and giving them ideas of how to work with sounds with their kids. Again, the FCRR website has lots of info you could use. Hope that helps. - Original Message - From: Heather Wall [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 6:24:30 AM (GMT-0600) America/Chicago Subject: [MOSAIC] Kindergarten preparation Does anyone do a Kindergarten Welcome Packet type of thing for their entering Kindergarteners in the Spring?

Re: [MOSAIC] Kindergarten preparation
There is a lovely little book by Rosemary Wells called Read to Your Bunny. In the school I last worked in before moving to district coaching, we gifted this book along with a copy of Mem Fox's Reading Magic (we had a grant) to participants in a summer pre-kinder day camp.

Re: [MOSAIC] Kindergarten preparation
Hello; Your idea of the welcome packet is FANTASTIC! Entering kindergarteners should not be reading sight words! They should be exploring their world and developing those emergent literacy skills (and numeracy skills) that will prepare them for the formal instruction they'll be recieving soon For the packet, I suggest ...providing play do - along with ideas for what to do with the play do and the WHY (small motor, creativity)of it. Suggest the parent buy a cheap cookie sheet as a play-do Board, so the child has a defined area in which to create (parents always worry about the mess!) ...what about a list of books to read over the summer, along with a pamphlet about Caldecott Award winners? This is easily obtained via your public library. In fact, you can make them a partner in this! ...Recipe ideas - simple things like the apple tarts you can make with canned biscuits and cinnamon sugar..and with that, provide a simple one page write up about taking your child with you to the grocery store, talking about the apples, comparing the different kinds of apples, weighing the apples - sharing how important it is to talk with you child, and the benefits of talking with them - in English or another language (just talk!) also recipes for bubbles, puffy paint, chalk, etc! ...provide a list of free things going on in the summer. The library usually has a story time, and local bookstores (BN, BAM) usually do too. ...Compile a list of websites (argh - last resort) that are kid friendly and are more than just moving ditto sheets). Make sure to include a disclaimer on there about content and your district's liability. ...Could you put together a calendar for the summer, with something each day (or every other day) to do? (ie: June 15 - make chalk and then make a hopscotch board; July 3: visit the library to find out about why we celebrate the Fourth of July) The calendar could also include things school specific (Meet the teacher day; First day of school maybe a checklist for the first day of school countdown, and have it culminate with a party for all entering kindergarteners right before school starts? This could be a special Meet the Teacher day for kindergarten kids only There is a great book called, The Night Before Kindergarten by E.J. Sullivan. YOu could read that book at the party! Good luck with your project!

Re: [MOSAIC] Kindergarten preparation
Heather, Just two days ago my principal and I had this very conversation. He would like to do home visits to these children and bring them a goodie bag. I think it's a great idea, but I warned him that I hoped it wasn't going to become a drill your child on this packet and he said that wasn't what he had in mind.

Re: [MOSAIC] Kindergarten preparation
I think rather than flash cards, I'd like to see a little laminated alphabet chart, to facilitate singing the ABC song. Also, I think this packet should include the following: a box of 16 high-quality crayons a 5x7 pad of blank white paper a couple of already sharpened pencils a small, laminated number line that goes to 20 and maybe a pattern blocks shape-tracing template :-) Renee On Apr 18, 2008, at 5:01 AM, KENNETH SMITH wrote: I think a welcome packet would be a great idea.
