Kindergarten news for the week of September 19thth – 23rd
Anyone interested in helping with the Kindergarten Fall Festival is invited to a meeting in the NSE cafeteria at 2:00 on Wednesday September 21st. The Fall Festival will be held on Thursday October 20th. There will be no rain date. The meeting MAY run until the end of the school day. Please let me know if you will be taking your child as a walker at the end of the day!
• Next week in Phonics we will be learning the letter Gg and its sound as in goat. Please review the sounds and how to write the letters we have already learned. We will have Show & Tell for Gg on Thursday. If your child loses or rips their brown bag for show and tell, you may use any bag at all! The bag is really a reminder!
• In math next week we will create pattern block designs, cover designs using pattern blocks, sort objects by color, create a real graph and act out some story problems.
• In our reading story Fix-it Duck! The children were introduced to the letters Ff – Nn. Our next story is about a plaid platypus called Plaidypus Lost. The genre of this book is fiction and we will discuss the comprehension skill of sequence. The children will be introduced to the letters Oo- Ss.
We have already completed three weeks of school and many students are familiar with their bus numbers, however, we are asking that students continue to wear their bus tags or at least be sure to have them handy inside their backpacks. If your child has lost his/her bus tag then please write your child’s name, the teacher’s name, the bus number your child rides to and from school, and any other information you would like to include (address, phone #, child’s destination, etc…) on an index card or piece of paper and place it inside your child’s backpack. This will be very helpful for teachers on bus duty and for any substitute teachers or substitute bus drivers. Thank you for your support!
• Parents please check folders daily and remove all “KEEP” items. It becomes difficult to handle folders with too many papers inside (both for the students and teachers). Thank you for your cooperation and support!
Please note that the blue September calendar is off one day of the rotation due to the day off due to the flooding last week! Monday will be day #4.
Now that the weather is a little cooler your child needs to be dressed properly to be outside for recess for ½ hour!
Have an Outstanding Weekend!
