Hope everyone had a restful and beautiful weekend! I took my family to the pumpkin patch and picked a few pumpkins to share with my kindergarten friends. Can’t wait to see their faces!

Review week:

Theme: Families change

Reading: We will be reading stories about how people grow and change. We will compare what it was like being a baby and how it is now in kindergarten. For example: Babies need bottles and kids drink from cups.

We will be reading Peter’s chair, Family Fun, Jennifer Bing why won’t you sing, and Rooster goes to Tio’s wedding.

Letters: Review letters Aa, Mm

Sight words: Review: I, can, we, the

Writing: We will also start something called a weekend write. This is an opportunity for your child to recall their weekend and draw/write (based on their ability) about it. We will also write an opinion piece about the stories we will be reading.

Math: We are reviewing numbers 0-10. We will write and count backwards. We will also explore shapes this week. We will identify objects in real life with the shapes. If you can send in some magazines that would be great.

Science: We continue to explore the 5 senses. We have discussed touch, taste and smell last week. We will focus on hearing and sight this week. We will continue to explore the fall season. Last week, we created a thinking map with different ideas. These ideas were: hibernation, migration, leaves change colors, cooler weather, animals store food for winter and the day gets shorter and the the nights get longer (we have not talked about this one yet). I also brought in pumpkins to encourage oral language development.

Social Studies: We continue to work on Classroom Routines and Working Well With Each Other. Its all about COOPERATION and TEAM WORK!
