Hello Families,

We sure had a busy day in kindergarten today!  We are learning about our 5 Senses through 5 different stations. Thanks to Aailya’s mom, Juan’s mom and my mom for helping today.  Take a look.

Here is scientist Ben ready for the taste test. Please try to use words like: sweet, salty, sour and bitter at home. We realized that many students did not like the bitter taste. Ask your child about the taste test.

Here is the “hearing”station.  Students had to use their sense of hearing to figure out what was inside the tube.

Here is the “smelling” station.  Students had to use their sense of smell to predict what was inside the cylinder.

Here is the “sight” station. Students had to use their sense of sight to find the missing object.

Here is the “texture” station. We felt all different kinds of textures and made texture rubbings. Please try to use texture words at home.

Everyone likes to do “texture rubbings!”

Yuan is demonstrating how do to a texture rub!

We ran out of time so we did not finish all the stations.  We are planning to finish them next Tuesday at 2:15 p.m.  We could really use 3 volunteers to help us.  If you are available, please leave a comment below.

Thanks!

Reminder:  Tomorrow is Late Start!!  The bell rings at 9:35 a.m.

Hi Families,

Hope you were able to stay warm this weekend!  Here is what you need to know for the week ahead:

• Welcome Michael Davis to our classroom.  Our new student starts tomorrow.  We are very excited to meet our new friend! 🙂
• Letter Study for this week will be the letter M m.

There is a menu change for Monday’s lunch.  We do not serve “shrimp poppers” at Lindbergh due to severe allergies for several students and teachers.  Instead first choice will be burrito and second choice will be grilled cheese.

Monday:  Letter books will be sent home.  Again we are working on the letter M m.  Please have your child wear gym shoes.  We will also go to art. Kindergartners will be taking Day 1 of the district writing prompt. As always, I tell the students “Do your best and forget the rest!”  I actually like giving this writing prompt because it will be benchmark that will show so much growth by June.

Tuesday: Students will finish Day 2 of the district writing prompt.  We will have music with Mrs. Baloga.  Our class will go to the Media Center to select new library books.  Finally, we will investigate our “5 Senses” during science today.  If you are interested in helping us at 2:15 p.m. please leave a comment below.  Lindbergh’s PTA meeting will be held in the cafeteria from 7:00-8:00 p.m.

Wednesday:  Late Start today!  School starts an hour later.  Please make sure your child arrives by 9:35 a.m.

Thursday:  We will go to music with Mrs. Baloga today.

Friday:  Letter books are due today.  Please have your child wear his/her gym shoes.  We will go to the computer lab with Mrs. Ackerman.  Field trip permission slips and money are due today!

Donations Needed for Tuesday (5 Senses):  If you can donate these items, please leave a comment below.   Thanks!!

• 2 lemons for sour
• bar of baking chocolate for bitter

Hello Families,

Time is flying fast here in our kindergarten classroom.  Here are a couple of friendly reminders:

• Letter books are due tomorrow!  We have been working on the letter S this week.  The students have loved sharing them with the class.  Look at these future teachers!

• Please make sure that your child wears his/her gym shoes tomorrow.
• We will be taking our Math NWEA test tomorrow.
• Our whole class was invited to the PBIS Reward tomorrow.  This is because every kindergartner stayed on green 80 percent or more in  the month of September.  They will enjoy a popsicle treat in the afternoon. 🙂

Field Trip:

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to help us on our field trip to the Plymouth Apple Orchards and Cider Mill.  Please make sure that your child’s permission slip and money is returned to school by Friday, October 9th.  On the day of our field trip, your child will still need to arrive to school by 8:35 a.m. and will be dismissed at 3:35 p.m.

That’s all for now!

Ms. Wright
