Queen of the Jungle

Queen of the Jungle
My name is Ms. Goleski. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. This is my second year teaching Kindergarten here at Neptune Beach Elementary. I graduated from UNF with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I grew up in the beautiful town of Stuart, Florida. I love the the beach, boating, and traveling. I have been fortunate enough to see many parts of the world and look forward to many more journeys in the future. I love teaching more than anything. I truly believe that I was meant to be a teacher and I am lucky to be able to do what I love everyday!

Sight Words and Word Families

Listed below are the sight words and word families that have been introduced in our classroom so far this school year. The students' ability to recognize these words is a major element in the beginning stages of reading. I encourage you to work with your child using flash cards at home. Thank you for all of your support!

Sight Words:
I ~ see ~ look ~ at ~ my ~ we ~ like ~ big ~ can ~ a ~ to ~ an ~ this ~ and ~ go ~ in ~ you ~ is ~ here ~ get ~ did ~ for ~ have ~ it ~ am ~ said ~ the ~ me ~ will ~ with ~ come ~ play ~ she ~ do ~ not ~ what ~ he ~ went ~ her ~ are

Week of February 2nd

It is going to be a busy week in our classroom! We are kicking off the week with the 100th Day of School and Groundhog's Day. Don't forget to have your child bring in their "100 things" to share with all of Kindergarten on Monday. I also want to extend a thank you to all of you that have already sent in items for our "100's Trail Mix." Report cards will be sent home on Tuesday. Just a reminder that Wednesday is an early release day. On Thursday morning we will be attending a puppet show in the gym, so be sure to ask your child about that! Last week we began a Kevin Henkes author study. We are reading a collection of his books and focusing on characters and setting to help with the students retelling ability. Our new writing genre is "functional" otherwise known as "how-to" writing. Functional writing is simply giving directions. This week we will start writing in a three part system about how to do things using key words such as first, next, and last. I will be sending home some information this week regarding our classroom plans for Valentine's Day, so be on the lookout! I look forward to another fabulous week :)
