Kindergarten
News – Week of September 30th – October 4th
Phonics In phonics this week we will be
learning the letter Pp as in pig. We
have now learned Ll, Oo, Gg, Hh, Tt and Pp.
Please continue to practice these at home! We will be celebrating learning the letter /Pp/
by having the pajama party on Wednesday-
October 16th. The
children will be permitted to dress down and wear their pajamas for this fun
and educational day. I would suggest
that your child wear sneakers to school and they may change into slippers when
they arrive. They may also bring a robe
if they would like! We will begin our
day by eating pancakes in our room and then rotate through centers for the
remainder of the morning in our classroom.
Reading
We will be starting a new book called Dig Dig Digging. We will be reading some fiction and
non-fiction books about construction equipment.
Math We will
be learning the terms for ordinal numbers first through fifth and doing some
problem solving activities. We will work
on proper formation of the numbers 1-5 too!
We would like to thank everyone for all of their hard work
with the planning of our fall festival!!
There will be another planning meeting on Sunday evening- September 29th
at 5:30 at the Mineshaft in Ashland.
Please come if you can help! We
ask that you send in your $4.00 for fall festival as soon as possible so the
parents can buy their supplies for this fun day!
Our class is
enjoying a variety of fall and Halloween books.
We are reading about bats, spiders, apples, and pumpkins. The children really enjoy reading (or just
looking at) books on their own! We will
be beginning kidwriting this week. Your
child will draw a picture and write 1-2 sentences to tell a story about the
picture. The other children will do
center activities while I am working with 3 or 4 children with their writing.
We will have
picture retakes on November 1st .
If you were unhappy with your pictures, you must return your entire
picture package in order to get a new one.
If you have any other problems with your pictures, you may contact the
picture company directly. The company
name is PSP and the phone number is 1-800-248-6394.
We hope everyone has a wonderful first weekend of fall! The weather looks like it will be beautiful!
