Newsletter for Week 7 (Recap and NEW info)!

What we did during our week:

Language Arts and Writing: We worked on recognizing and writing the letter F and the letter U. These are the letters we have learned thus far: Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff and Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Yy and Zz.  Make sure to focus on these letters at home to observe if your child has mastered each letter that was taught in class.  Also, please make sure to go over LIST ONE for the sight word list; make it  a part of their homework routine:)  We have been having fun with sight words in the classroom!  Here are a few pictures:)

 Math: We practiced recognizing, writing and representing numbers 13 and 14 and we learned what 3D shapes are (cube, sphere, cylinder, rectangular prism and cone)!  We have also been learning how to subitize items in a ten frame or in tally marks!  This is the video we watched in class to help us with SUBITIZING🙂

Science: We have been learning about push and pull and will soon do an experiment with magnets!

Social Studies: We are still working on how to get along with others by using the words like, “please,” “thank you” and using words to express their feelings.

Halloween:  

• Halloween is right around the corner and what an exciting time it is for our Kindergartners!  The costume parade will start promptly at 2:30p.m.  The students will walk around the school in their costumes; this is a great time to bring a camera and snap some pictures of the cute costumes!  Mr. Short has outlined the parade details on his blog post.  Here is where you can get the information.
• As for costumes, I ask that you do not put your child in a costume they don’t know how to get out of.   Please practice, practice, practice  with your child how to properly take off and put on their costume to ensure no accidents will happen in the classroom.  Of course, we will do the best we can to help the students, but sometimes we can’t get to the student fast enough, etc.  We also ask that you do not dress your child in scary costumes, bring any weapons and or masks. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter!
• Also, if you would like to bring in one bag of wrapped candy or non edible treats for your child to pass out to his/her friends, that is welcomed as well!  We have 23 friends in the classroom!  I just ask all candy is gelatin free (NO pork products)!  With our celebration fund money we were able to purchase fun games for the kids to play during our halloween centers and also yummy treats for the kids to enjoy (yum, yum)!  Again, thank you for your donation to our fund!  I will make sure to post pictures, on our blog, of the day!

Housekeeping items:

• Thank you to the families who donated to our classroom fund celebration!  This money will be used to purchase items needed for our holiday celebrations and our end of the year party!  If you weren’t able to send in the donation and would still like to, there is still time!  Thank you:)
• New library books came home today!  Make sure to enjoy this book for next week’s reading log and place back in book bag Friday morning:)
• Please read Halloween information located in this blog.  Thank you!
