• Welcome to  Keeling!

    I am excited to get to know you and your child better. We are going to learn a tremendous amount this year and we will have so much fun doing so! The Keeling  ELD team has some great tools to help your child be successful in their learning endeavors.

     

    o   Your child will learn all of their letters and letter sounds using a program called Fundations. It really makes learning letters so much fun because it is a kinesthetic approach (children use their eyes, ears, mouths, and bodies to learn) and really helps students understand and memorize their letters which will then translate into your child becoming a stronger reader, speller, and writer

     o   We are very fortunate to have the Waterford online learning program in our classrooms.  Students will spend 15 minutes each day on the computer receiving individualized literacy instruction.

      o     Last but not least, here at Keeling we are also so very lucky to have the Reading Seed and Reading Sprouts programs. Each child will have a reading coach who reads with them twice a week.  Reading Coaches are volunteers who are passionate about helping your child read.

     Class Expectations

    o   We are Keeling Kind.

    o   We have peaceful hands and peaceful feet. 

    o   We have our brains thinking.

    o   We try our best because we persevere!

     

    Helpful Hints & Reminders

    o   Please make sure you look at your child’s daily communicator each night. This is one way we will communicate with parents about their child.

    o   We want our kiddos to be life-long readers. Therefore, it is super important that you read with your child each night for at least 20 minutes.
