What we did during our week:
It has been a crazy week – We had 9 kids missing on Thursday. Our room has been hit hard with an assortment of illnesses. Be sure to wash those hands and stay healthy! We will be back in the groove next week. 🙂
Language Arts and Writing: We worked on recognizing and writing the letter H and the letter S. For writing this week we wrote about what we were going to be for Halloween, what we were most excited for for our party, and what our favorite candy was that we got from trick-or-treating!
We also worked on recognizing syllables, and practiced with our names!
We took our test on sight word list one – these came home in your child’s green folder. The highlighted words were the ones that your child did not know. Keep practicing these at home, these are words they will be seeing in their books starting in a few weeks! The next sight word test, which is over list 2 will be Thursday, November 16th. In case you lost the list, you can access it below.
Math: We practiced recognizing, writing and representing numbers 17 and 18 and we started simple addition. We worked on making five. We put 5 counters in a cup, shook them, and dumped them out to see what gave us 5! Below is a chart we made together.
Math centers will be back next week when we have more time!
Science: We have moved on to weather – this week we talked about what weather is and what weather watchers do!
Other: We had a blast on Halloween! During our Halloween party, we….
- Made a ghost craft
- Made monsters
- Decorated and ate sugar cookies
- Decorated our trick-or-treat bags
The PTA calendar stated that there is no school on November 10, but there IS school on the 10th. There is NO school on November 17th. Also, our book fair time has been changed. Our book fair time is now Tuesday November 14th, at 9:00am.
Field Trip money is due Monday November 6th!!
STAR Student: We have officially launched STAR STUDENT of the week in Kindergarten! Each Friday, I will choose one child to be selected for star student. That child will come home with an ALL ABOUT ME poster to be completed over the weekend and returned Monday morning. All week we will talk about the star student, look at his/her poster and also write about that student in class. At the end of the week, the star student will come home with a published book to keep and read with the family! Star student is a great way to highlight all of the amazing kids we have here in Kindergarten! It’s a feel good activity and makes the kids really excited about writing and learning new things about their friends! Be as creative as you want with the Star student poster. Add pictures, drawings, crafts, stickers, objects to the board…there is no wrong answer! If you have any questions about the Star Student Poster, please feel free to email me at any time!
