Week of November 7, 2016

Dear Families,

I hope you are having a great weekend and enjoyed the extra hour of sleep!  I know I sure did!  Here is what’s happening in our kindergarten class:

  • Monday:  Please return Nightly Literacy Activities, book bag, poetry journal and library book.  We will have gym with Mr. Murua and art with Mrs. Doman.
  • Tuesday:  No School!  Don’t forget to vote!
  • Wednesday:  We will start our new investigation on Pushes and Pulls in science today!
  • Thursday:  We will go to music with Ms. Baloga.
  • Friday:  We will go to the computer lab with Mrs. Ackerman and gym with Mr. Murua.

Leader in Me:  Hopefully your child has been using the term “synergize” and demonstrating habit #6 at home.  Our definition for “synergize” is working together is better.  I have received a couple of entertaining emails on “synergize” from several families.  It is great to see Leader in Me being carried over at home.   We would love to see any pictures of your family synergizing at home, feel free to send them to me at wrightt1@dearbornschools.org.

This week we will be learning about Habit # 7- Sharpen the Saw!  This habit is all about having balance in your life.

Although we will be learning lots of different things in kindergarten, here is a quick overview:

Reading:  Making connections with stories that we read.

Writing:  Opinion writing.  Kindergartners love to tell us their opinions!  During Writer’s Workshop we will learn the difference between a fact and an opinion and write about them.

Math:  Counting and Classifying

Science:  Pushes and Pulls

Social Studies:  Needs vs. Wants

A Few Last Things…

  • Conference Reminder slips:  These will be sent home on Monday in your child’s red folder.  At Lindbergh we are committed to have 100 percent attendance for parent/teacher conferences!  Please return the bottom of your reminder slip as soon as you can.
  • Ring of cards:  You may have noticed a ring of cards in your child’s book bag.  These are important words that your child will encounter frequently while reading.  Please practice the words with your child at home.  We will also practice them at school during Word Work so make sure that the ring of cards is kept in your child’s  book bag.

Lastly,

The 43rd Annual Lindbergh PTA Holiday Boutique
is Saturday, November 12 from 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM.
This is one of the biggest fundraisers for the Lindbergh PTA and proceeds directly benefit our children.
Many volunteers are needed to make this event successful. Please review the volunteer opportunities and signup for the time(s) that work best for you. Any time you can give is greatly appreciated! 

Come and see our Mad Science Basket!  Thanks to everyone who donated towards our basket!  A huge kudos to our hardworking Homeroom Parents to spent countless hours creating this year’s Mad Science, worth over an estimated $3000.00.
 
Until next time…
Ms. Wright
