Alphabet Masters

This is our alphabet mastery chart. Today I retested letters and sounds and I am happy to say the entire class has made big improvements. Eight students have shown mastery of all their letters and all their sounds upper and lowercase in random order. Congratulations to Jade, Caroline, Dwayne, Nehemiah, Dylan, Chandler, Brayden and Joseph. I will test again next week and update our alphabet mastery chart with the names of students that have mastered their letters and sounds.

Have a safe and restful weekend.

During the past few days all Duval county kindergarten first and second grade students have been taking the i-Ready diagnostic test on the computer in school. Our class is just finishing up and I will be sending home the results along with student usernames and passwords. Please click on the link below to view a web based video explaining what i-Ready is and how you can use it at home.

Mr. Blakeman

Welcome

Welcome to Kindergarten. I am excited that your child will be growing and learning with me this year. I know that your child is your greatest investment and I am privileged to aid them in taking their first steps toward becoming lifelong learners. I look forward to working together with you to build a solid foundation for your child’s future academic success. Thank you Mr. Blakeman
