What's Happening in Kindergarten?
Last week we started studying the reading strategy of Analyzing Characters in the stories we read. This week we are reading The Three Little Pigs and focusing on how the pigs acted and felt and why. We will also be reading different versions of this familiar story and comparing how they are alike and different.
We learned to write the word 'am' and the word 'Sam' last week using the letters we have studied. This week we are learning letter Tt and will be using it to make new words. We enjoy practicing these letters and words on our white boards in class. We continue to practice counting syllables in words and coming up with rhyming words. Please see how well your child is doing with this by practicing at home.
In Science we continue to learn about the weather. This week we are going to learn about a place that does not get much sun and we will think about how we can warm up a frozen playground!
In Social/Emotional learning we have learned that we need to follow the group plan to help everyone stay happy. This week we will read about flexible and stuck thinking!
Parent/Teacher Conferences
I look forward to meeting with you all next week to discuss your child's progress in school so far this year. I included a link to sign up for a time last week but I will link it again here since there are still quite a few who need to sign up. I will assign time slots on Thursday if you have not chosen one by then. Thank you.
Parent/Teacher Conference Sign Up
Halloween Party
Our Halloween celebration will be this Friday from 1:30- 2:30 pm. Thank you so much to those that have signed up to send in a snack, craft, or game for our party. I wish you could be here to enjoy it with us. I promise to take pictures and post them so you can see all of the fun! Children CAN wear their costumes to school that day. Please make sure it is not too bulky for them to get around in all day.
Cold Weather
Since the weather is getting colder, please make sure your child has what they need to stay warm at recess each day! Also, please practice zipping coats at home to help transition times go more smoothly! Thank you so much!
