Can you believe that October is right around the corner??  I hope you can get outside and enjoy this terrific weather.  Here’s what’s coming up for next week.

READING-APPLES!!

Monday-Under the Apple Tree      Visualizing a Story

Tuesday-The Apple Pie Tree           Sequencing a Story

Wednesday-Amelia Belelia’s First Apple Pie     Character Traits

Thursday-Johnny Appleseed          Identifying key information in a story

Friday-Apples. Apples, Apples        Text Features

WRITING-  OPINION WRITiNG   “I like a  _________.”

LETTERS-  F  f    

WORDS- like  A  a

By now, your student should know the sounds connected to the letters we have worked with so far and how to write the letters.  They also should know how to read and write the words we have done.

M  m     A a     D  d     O o

I     Am   am    At  at   See  see   A  a   

Please practice these with your child.  Start a sentence for them to write and finish.  “I  like a __________.”   I see a ______.”  “Am I at ___________?   I am at _________.”   Remember to add the punctuation too!!  They know periods at the end of sentences and  question marks come at the end of questions.

MATH-Last week we worked with the concept of zero and worked with numbers 0-5.  We will now work with numbers 6-8 in different configurations (vertically, horizontally linear configurations, arrays, scattered and circular)

Write the numeral 7.  Compose the number 7 with spoons, etc.  Ask, “How is your 7 different than mine?”

SOCIAL STUDIES-“Who am I and how do I get Along With Others?”

Today we took the Math portion of the NWEA.  Some great scores in here!

We also had our first FIRE DRILL.   They all did very well…lots of directions to follow.

By now all students have a BOOK BAG that goes home with them.  there is a note inside of the BOOK BAG that tells when the BOOK BAG should come back for reading to me and for new books.  The kids have already told me about reading to family members, pets, stuffed animals, grandparents, etc.  That is fantastic!

Thank you for your support on the home front.

Remember… NO SCHOOL TOMORROW FOR KINDERGARTEN.

For your future planning, PICTURE DAY will be Thursday, October 18.

Enjoy your long weekend with your Kindergartener!
