READING: Our color unit has been so much fun! It has been exciting watching everyone dress up in the color of the day! We made rainbows and made a book about our favorite color. We have also been working on reading the kindergarten words. We should know: I, a, go, to, me, in, red, see, we, my. For fun at home, go to www.spellingcity.com . Click on the button that says “Find A List.” In the middle of the computer screen, type in the name Cynthia Eggers to search for a list by a teacher’s name. Have fun playing the games! We also added another color! It will be gray day on Friday, October 29th. Thank you!


LETTER OF THE WEEK: “Ii” will be the letter of the week starting on Monday, November 1. 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 “I.”

MATH: We reviewed the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. We took Topic test 4 earlier this week. We also are taking a cumulative test over the first 4 topics. We will sort, discuss positional words, and make patterns to help us take this test.

HANDWRITING: We are still praciticing making frog jump letters and corner starting letters using chalkboards, magna doodles, and mats. Remember: all letters start at the top! Keep working on F, E, D, P, B, R, N, and M. We are getting better at making L, K, H, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z which are corner starting letters.

SCIENCE: We are continuing to look at the four seasons of the year! The colors of the leaves are beautiful! We have been graphing the crazy weather this week, too.
