Kindergarten news for the week of September 16th - 20th


Kindergarten News

 

        ~In the upcoming week we will be learning the letter Hh as in hat, hippo, and horse.  Letter Hh is a consonant.  As part of our study with the letter Hh we will have a “Hat Day” on Thursday- September 19th.  Students are asked to wear a favorite hat, a funny hat, or even a homemade hat.  You can be creative with this if you want!  Students will be able to wear the hat all day—we do just ask that students do not share hats.  Show and Tell will be with items that begin with the /h/ sound.  It will be on Thursday. 

          ~In Math we will be learning the terms more, fewer and the same as, 1 and 2 more, 1 and 2 fewer and the number zero.  

~In reading, we will begin the story Miss Bindergarten takes a Field Trip.  This book will teach about community cooperation and a community based field trip!

          ~We have been practicing writing our first names.  Please watch your child as he/she is writing.  Be sure to check if letters are beginning at the top, not the bottom and also guide him/her to use the lines when forming the letters.  Thank you!

          ~Box tops for education, Turkey Hill Moo lids and Campbell’s labels will be collected at the end of each month.  If you have any at your home, then please send them to school with your child.  The box tops, lids and labels help our school to earn extra money.

~Next week we will have a meeting to plan fall festival on Tuesday- September 17th at 2:00.  You should have received an orange note about this.  ~We will take dibels in the near future.

~We will have a school pep rally on Friday in our gym for homecoming!  Children may wear Spartan t-shirts!  Every Friday is a spirit day.  Your child can always wear a “Spartan” t-shirt on a Friday –even if it is not gym day!

          Monday will be Day 4 on our special classes’ schedule.

Have a Great weekend!
