What We Did During Our Week:
This week we learned about the letters F and U! We also worked identifying how many words are in a sentence. This a fun game to play at home – come up with a silly sentence and have your child tell you how many words were in that sentence! Our Halloween story has been shipped – Scholastic says we should have our ordered copies back to us within 20 days. 🙂 Next Monday I will be testing alphabet letter recognition, sounds, as well as reading levels. Book bags will be coming home within the next week – please be on the lookout for more information!
We continue to practice counting up to 10, but also from 10 to 0. We are close to finishing module 1, and we will be moving onto shapes within the month of November!
Science we talked all about pumpkins! We learned that pumpkins grow from a blossom, and actually start out green and then turn orange. After we read about pumpkins we painted our pumpkin hats!
Other:
Please, please, please work on putting on and zipping up coats independently at home. With colder weather upon us we still have many kids that cannot get their coats on once they have been taken off, and they cannot zip them. This is a skill that kindergartners should be able to do independently. Thank you! 🙂 Also, if you are talking to other parents – remind them to sign up for this blog! 🙂
Thursday we will be outside all afternoon in order to do a pumpkin activity – please be sure to send your child in the appropriate clothing for the weather this day – thank you!
Friday we met with big buddies and did a few fun activities! We got to make pumpkin hats, as well as math some math candy corn.
