What we did during our week:

Language Arts: We had a fun week learning about letters E & V.  We learned the letter name, words that start with each letter and the sound each letter makes.  Next week we will focus on letters F and U:)

Writing:    In writing, we are learning how to label our pictures!  Make sure to practice this at home as well:)

Math:  We worked on lessons 17-19  in the classroom. Next week we will complete lessons 20-27.

Social Studies:  For October, we will learn what it means to be a responsible citizen in our school/community:)

Halloween Celebration Note:  

Dear Families, Our Halloween celebration will be on Wednesday October 31st,  which means excited kids and parents too:)  With all the excitement, we are listing the expectations for the day.  Since we have seen an influx of food allergies in all the Kindergarten classrooms, we are asking families not to send your child with any treats to pass out to his/her friends.  If by accident, your child sends a treat to school, we will kindly place it back in your child’s backpack to take home.  Students are able to wear costumes for the day…YAY! We just ask that your child does not bring to school any weapons/wands/masks, accessories with the costume.  If these are brought, we will kindly place them back into their backpacks.  We encourage each and every family to practice with your child how to put on and take off your child’s costume since they will be in this costume throughout the duration of the school day.  Make sure your child is in his/her costume at drop off! We will have a jam packed day, so the less disruptions the better:)

The Haigh Halloween parade will take place at 2:30 p.m.  We encourage families to come out and watch the parade that will take place outside.  There is no need to come into the building. We hope we answered some questions for this fun, filled day!  

Thank you, Kindergarten & Young 5’s Team

Donors Choose Project:  Our wobble stools are here and ready for us to use.  I am still looking for the parent(s) who purchased these wobble stools, so I can personally thank them:)  We are going to love them for small group instruction!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Oh My!  This week we kicked off our learning about pumpkins!  We started off by completing a R.A.N (Reading and Analyzing Nonfiction) chart, labeled the parts of a pumpkin, talked and wrote about what pumpkins are and wrapped it up with the pumpkin life cycle.  Next week we will do fun arts and crafts to extend our learning:) Here are some pictures from our week…enjoy!

Thursday, October 25th:  The students will be bringing home a pumpkin, donated by the PTA, on October 25th!  I will have the students clean out the flesh, seeds and plant a flower inside the pumpkin as well:)  Please dress your child for a day full of pumpkin fun; anything they can get dirty and have fun in! Thank you for your cooperation:)
