Week of September 16, 2013

Hello Families,

Hope you enjoyed the wonderful weekend!  Here is a glimpse of what is planned for kindergarten this week:

Monday:  Letter books will be sent home/ we will be studying the letter M. Please return by Friday.  We will be studying the words “I” and “can.”  Also, our class will preview books at the Scholastic Book Fair.  We will send home a Book Fair Wish List.

Tuesday:  We will check out a new book from the library today.  Our class will go to music today with Mrs. Baloga.

Wednesday:  We will be having Mad Science today!  Please come and join us for our “Senses Centers”.  We need 3 more parents to volunteer in our classroom at 1:00 p.m.  Volunteers will need to sign in at the office first and plan to stay for an hour.  Thanks to Billy’s mom and Reina’s mom for already volunteering.  If you are interested, please let me know as soon as possible.

Thursday:  Our class will be going to gym with Mr. Murua. Lindbergh’s Open House is from 6:00-7:30 p.m.

Friday:  Our class will be going to Art with Mrs. Doman and Music with Mrs. Bologa.  Letter books need to be returned.  Your child will take home their Poetry Folder today so they can practice them over the weekend.

Science Homework for this Week:  Sense of Touch

Your child will be taking home a surgical glove and a clear cylinder.  Please have your child fill the surgical glove with something interesting inside.  Examples:  popcorn kernals, sand, beads, etc.. Once the glove is full, tie the glove like you would a balloon. Fill the clear cylinder with the same material that is inside the glove. Tape the cylinder shut.  Please make sure that there is nothing valuable or anything you want returned. Both items will be placed on our Science Table. Our scientists will be using their sense of touch to try to figure out what is inside the glove and match it with what is inside the cylinder.  I will provide the class with several examples so they will understand what they need to do for their homework.  My own children and I have had a blast doing this over the weekend.  I hope your family will too.  This science homework is due on Monday, September 23 but can be handed in anytime before.  Good Luck!
