Newsletter for Week 4 (Recap and new info)!
What we did during our week:
Language Arts and Writing: We worked on recognizing and writing the letter C and the letter X. We also learned the sounds for each letter.
Math: We practiced recognizing, writing and representing numbers 7 and 8. In addition, we learned about diamonds and ovals.
Science: We are finishing up our 5 senses – and we have been learning about apples this week. The students were able to use their five senses for our apple tasting activity! After, we voted on our favorite kind of apple, graphed our results and wrote about it in class:)
Other: We finished up our NWEA Testing, the students are writing their Learning Goals in Reading, Math and Behavior and tested students on letter and sound identification. It was a busy week!
Housekeeping items:
* For the field trip this Tuesday, children are expected to bring a brown bag lunch. Teachers will not carry any lunch boxes or water bottles. If you are worried about your child’s food getting warm, you can freeze your child’s juice box in the freezer the night before and place in their bag Tuesday morning. I would put the juice box in a ziploc bag, that way the condensation from the drink does not saturate the brown bag lunch. Hope this helps!
* Please remember to pack a light, healthy snack for your child EACH day and please let them know if they are bringing a lunch from home or getting a school lunch. Please refer to the October lunch menu that was sent home this week. Thank you.
* Thank you to all the parents who provided their child with reusable water bottles. What a life saver it has been in the classroom!
* Please remember to sign and EMPTY your child’s green folder every night on the side that says “KEEP at home.”
* Sometimes your child isn’t able to complete classwork in the classroom. If this happens, I will write a note that says “HW (homework)” and would like the worksheet returned the next day. If your child is unable to complete the work in class, for whatever reason, I still would like them to get the extra support at home to learn the concepts missed in class. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter:)
* There will be NO SCHOOL this Friday for Kindergarten students only.
