We had a great week in kindergarten!
Important Notes
· Wednesday
is our Pumpkin Patch Field Trip! Please remember to fill our permission slip
and send in $5 if you have not already.
· October
16th is Grandparent’s Day. We will be making invitations soon, but
you may want to give them a heads up before hand.
· Next Tuesday
we will be having a writer’s celebration!! We buy cookies and juice and the students
“read” their stories to each other. It is a time for them to feel proud of all their
hard work. As the year progresses, they will have many more words to go with their
pictures. We invite parents to come and read what students have written! It
will be Tuesday at 2:15.
Homework started last week. I sent home a reading log with
sight words attached. Today I sent home our new reading log. Please fill in the
days you read and practice sight words nightly. Then return these forms every
Friday. Students will get credit for turning these back in.
Book bags- next week I will start sending book bags home. They
are different from library books. There will be paper books that we read in
class that they keep and, books from our classroom library that should be
returned each Friday. As students begin to read more, having books at their own
level will be helpful.
A note was sent home today about our Fun Fest coming up. If
you are able to help please fill the form out and send it back. You can help
with the booths, buying or making cakes, or with setting up.
Reading- This week we started our small groups. We read books
together and practiced our sight words. In reading we have been working on
letters, rhyming, and learning the difference between letters and numbers.
Math- In math we finished up our unit of numbers 1-5. Students
also have been learning about greater than, less than, and one more. These are
terms that would be great to work on in the car or other spare times!
Bible- last week we learned about Abraham and Sarah, and how
God asked them to move far away. We have been learning what it means to obey
God, our parents, and our teachers.
In September we learned about Self-Control for our fruit of the
spirit. Each month every teacher recognizes two students who showed that trait.
On Monday, those students received awards. Next month we will be focusing on
Patience!
Next week’s Bible verse
Writing- We are finishing up our unit on drawing to tell. Our
next unit is “stories about me”. They will start making little books=)
Social studies- we are finishing up our Community helper unit and beginning our Pumpkin unit! Wednesday will help us kick off our unit!
Clipchart- you may have been hearing about this from your students. This is a behavior chart for individual behavior. When students are doing good or going above whats expected they are asked to clip up,but if they are having trouble they are asked to clip down.
Fun in Music
Happy Birthday Addison!
Have a great weekend!
