READING: We have been talking about our
family and what makes up a family. We
are all learning that every family is different. Ask your child what they have
learned each day. 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!
LETTER OF THE
WEEK: “L” will be the
letter of the week starting on Monday, November
28. 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 “J.”
MATH: We are learning the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and
10. We will practice writing our
numbers, breaking the numbers up into parts like 2 and 4 make 6 and counting
out counters to make our number of the day. We are also working on making
graphs and number lines.
HANDWRITING: We
are still practicing 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/Social Studies: We
are continuing to look at the four seasons of the year! The colors of the leaves are beautiful! We are continuing working on manners and what
Fisher CATS looks and sounds like at home and in the community .
Help Student Success: We use the word Quality Work at
school. When your child brings home a
project question them on their work. Ask
them if they did quality work and have them explain why it is or is not quality
work.
Please check out the kindergarten blog at:
Please make sure your child has gym shoes with them each gym
day! Gym
class has lots of running and sharp movement type activities. If the children are not wearing tennis shoes
they run the risk of getting injured or falling and injuring another student.
Dates to Remember:

Attire. (NEW DATE)

Cold Weather- With cold weather and snow
soon on its way please remember to mark all snow pants and coats. It is amazing how many black size 6 snow
pants show up during the winter. Keep practicing buttoning and zipping with
your child. We believe that it is
important for children to dress themselves. Our recess time is limited to about
15 minutes, so practicing at home will help the children get outside in time
for recess.

Pickup and Drop Off Procedures
Goal: The safety of all students
is a concern that we share. Our goal is to create a safe pick up and drop off
spot for all students and their families. By being patient and following a few
simple rules, we can accomplish that goal.
· All drop off and pick up by
car will occur on Pleasantview Road in the cutout area.
· After dropping off/picking up their child,
parents are to immediately move into traffic allowing other parents to drop off
their child. This is NOT a parking spot. Drivers must remain in the car.
· Cars MUST be in the cutout
area for students to get into their car. Students will not be allowed to enter
the street to get into their parent’s car.
· Do NOT double park on
Pleasantview.
· Above All: Be Patient, Be Patient, Be Patient!
Thank you for all that
you do to make your child’s kindergarten year a successful one. Have a great weekend!
