Kindergarten news for the week of November 11th - 15th

Kindergarten News for the week of November 11th - 15th
In phonics we will be learning the letter Ss as in sun.  We will still have show and tell on Thursday.  There is a new word list in your child’s folder (#4).  You may want to practice if your child is struggling with these.  We do review them in class!
In math we will be counting, writing and reading the numbers 11-20.  This is difficult for some children. 
The new reading book for this week is called A Bed for Winter.  This story is an informational text and we will review the comprehension skill of sequencing events in a story.
As the weather turns cooler, don’t forget to dress your child to be outside for a half of an hour.  If you have an extra hat and pair of gloves, maybe your child would like to leave them in their cubby for recess.  They may also want to leave a sweater or hoodless sweatshirt if they think our room is cold.  We have no control over the temperature and sometimes it seems to change throughout the day.
Please check your child’s folder for your conference time. 
Monday will be day #2 on our rotation schedule.  Your child needs his/her library book for Monday and sneakers for gym on Tuesday.
I was informed that Santa is coming to the Schuylkill mall this weekend.
