Week 4 and Going Strong!

Happy Friday!

It was a wonderful week to be in our Kindergarten Class!

Our Week at a Glance

-Tuesday was Picture Day.  I have never seen so many smiling faces all in one place.  Fingers crossed that everyone's picture comes out amazing.

-Wednesday we had our first Fire Drill!!  There were a few tears, but overall everyone did Fantastic!  They all lined up and headed outside immediately.  I was one proud teacher :)

-Thursday was our very first Field Trip to the Felida Fire Station.  The kids (and teachers) had an absolute blast.  The students had a tour of the station (including where they eat and sleep!)  They were able to climb inside the fire truck, and lastly they were privileged to have a real ride on an old-fashioned fire truck.

Academics

Math- we studied writing our numbers 1-5 and learned the concept of Greater than...

Reading- We are finishing up our intro. section of Journeys Reading and should be ready to begin our first topic which is Our Community and Families.

Daily 5- We are increasing our reading Stamina to 10 minutes a day.  We are getting stronger every day!  We have added Listen to Books, Word Work, Read to Self and Read to Someone.  We also have two ipads the students can use for Reading.

Social Studies-  We are studying about Community Helpers.  Do you have a job that you would like to tell the class about.  We would love to have you.  Please talk with Mrs. Palmer or Mrs. Lee if you are interested in presenting something to the students.

Bible-  The story of Noah.

Reminders

Our next field trip will be on Wednesday, October 7 from 1:00-2:30pm.  The cost is $5.00 per student and chaperones are free. I will be sending home the permission slips today in the OWL folders.

Friday, October 16th is Grandparent's Day at Sonshine Christian.  Please remind Grandparents about this special event.  It is from 9:00am-12:00pm.  More details coming soon!!

Your Child's O.W.L. Folder comes home each day, and it needs to be returned the next day.  Please remember to take out your child's completed work to make room for more awesome assignments coming your way.

Our Class starts promptly at 8:30am.  Please make every attempt to be at school on time.  When students come in late, it is disruptive to our young learners already at school.  Thanks!! :)

WE are thrilled to announce two new students to our classroom!  They are Lara and Raneem.  We are so glad to have you become a part of our classroom family!!

As always if you have any questions or concerns, please do NOT hesitate to contact us.
