READING: Colors are everywhere as we begin our new reading theme! Thank you for having your child participate in the color of the day this week! This week we had a chance to brainstorm things that were red, yellow, blue, and purple. We enjoyed playing games about colors and singing songs, too! We are beginning to read sentences using some of our kindergarten words! Continue working on these words with your child at home: a, I, go, to, me, in, red
LETTER OF THE WEEK: “Gg” will be the letter of the week starting on Monday, October 18. Please sit down with your child and discuss what sound this letter makes. Have your child cut out one small picture from a magazine or newspaper that begins with the letter “G.”
MATH: This week we focused on counting and writing the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3. We loved getting our little chalkboards out to practice writing these numbers the correct way.
HANDWRITING: Forming the letters of the alphabet is so important in kindergarten! We have been making frog jump letters and corner starting letters using chalkboards, magna doodles, and mats. We are trying to enforce that all letters start at the top! The letters we are really good at making are F, E, D, P, B, R, N, and M. These are all frog jump letters! They start at the top and we have to jump back to the top to finish making the letter. Have your child show you how to make them at home!
SCIENCE: We are beginning to wrap up our tree unit! We have been investigating leaves and drawing trees in our science journal.
Thank you for attending conferences this week to discuss your child’s progress!
Remember: If you are eating lunch with your child, please wait by the lunchroom for your child. This will help the teacher to get the children ready for lunch much easier. Thank you!
Dates to Remember:
· No School on Friday, October 15th due to Conferences Day
· October 18 Science Carnival at night
· October 22-Fall Party in your child’s classroom at 10-11 a.m. Your child may wear their character costume to school. We are going to parade around the school and show them off.
