Mrs. Baltos' Kindergarten

We have learned all of the letters in the alphabet!  On Friday, Nov. 30th, we will be celebrating our learning by making the letters out of objects.  Your child has already selected a letter and information was sent home in red folders.  If you are unsure which letter your child has, please let me know!  baltosst@spsd.org.

We have also been working on reading books, practicing the "popcorn" words, and handwriting.  We learned a new math game: Top it!  Students compare numbers on a card.
