Lindsay Elkins 

I moved to Georgia after college to begin my teaching career.  I have been teaching for 12 years.  I graduated with my undergraduate degree and  Master's Degree from Jacksonville State University. I also attended Piedmont Collage and earned my Specialist Degree. I taught 1st grade for 5 years, EIP for 1 year and am beginning my 6th year in Kindergarten. I have been married for 11 years and have 2 daughters.  My oldest daughter is entering 4th grade and my youngest daughter is entering 2nd grade. I enjoy  Alabama football and being my daughters' personal chauffeur 😊.  You can check out my classroom blog at www.thecontrolledchaosclassroom.blogspot.com

Sight Words

Are sight words stressing you out and bringing your child to tears?!?!  If so, STOP THE INSANITY!  it's the first 9 eels of kindergarten. They will get it!  Here is a "tip". 

We like the 70/30 rule (7 out of 3). For every 7 words the KNOW, give them 3 words they are struggling with.  If they don't know 7 words yet (and that is perfectly fine) give them 2 they know and 1 they don't.  Once they have mastered that word give them the 3 they know and and 1 more.  Then add 2 more, etc.  They need to feel confident and see progress to want to learn more. 

Remember these are sight words. In order for them to be able to move to the next list they have to know the words by sight (under 3 seconds) and read them fluently in phrases (example - she said to)

We hope these tips help! 

Lunch Money

If you have any questions about lunch money please go to https://www.mylunchmoney.com/index.aspx . You can create an account and keep up with how much money your child has on their account and put lunch money on their account.

This is a great tool to keep up with lunch money.
