Hello Families,

Here is a glimpse of  what will be happening this week in our kindergarten class:

• Letter of the Week:  F  f   Letter books will be sent home on Monday and will need to be returned by Friday.
• Words of the Week:  the  up     These  words will be added to your child’s ring of cards in their book bag.  Please practice at home!
• Math Homelink 2.13 needs to be completed and returned to school by Monday, November 11th.  This homelink can be found in your child’s Everyday Math Homelink Book that was sent home before the break.  Please carefully rip out, complete and return.  Make sure that your child writes his.her name at the top of the Homelink paper.
• A Sink or Float Science Experiment  will be sent home on Monday.  The completed experiment needs to be returned to school on Monday, November 11th.
• There will be no school on Tuesday, November 6th, 2013.  Teachers will be attending Professional Development sessions.  Don’t forget to vote!
• There will be a Mad Science Experiment on Wednesday, November 6th at 1:00 p.m.
• On Friday, November 8th, dismissal will be at 11:45 a.m.  This is due to the end of the card marking.
• On Saturday, November 9th, please support Lindbergh’s PTA and our classroom by attending the Holiday Boutique!

Note:  Our classroom is participating in Book-It.  This is a partnership with Pizza Hut to encourage students to make reading a daily habit at home.  I used the Nightly Reading Record papers that were returned on Friday.  Eleven students in our class received a coupon to get a free personal pan pizza.  Congratulations!!  Please make reading a daily habit in your home and record it on November’s Nightly Reading Record.

One last thing:  I am noticing a decline in homework being turned in on-time.  This includes letter books, science experiments and math Homelinks.  I realize that families are busy.  However, I try to give you as much notice so your child has plenty of time to complete them.  It is very rare that I give short notice (due the next day) for homework.  Therefore, your child will be moving his/her clip if homework is not returned on time.  Thank you in advance for helping your child to learn responsibility!

Have a great week!
