Kindergarten news for the week of September
9th – 13th
- Next week in Phonics
we will be learning the letter Gg
and its sound as in goat. The formation of this letter is difficult
for many children! 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 just a
reminder!
- In math next week we
will be learning some problem solving, counting one to five objects for
one-to-one correspondence and introducing the concepts of more, fewer and
the same as.
- Our next reading 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.
We
have already completed two 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, school
id. number, 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 help!
- Parents, please check
folders daily and remove all left at home 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!
Monday will be day #4 on our rotation schedule.
Now that the weather is getting a little cooler your child
needs to be dressed properly to be outside for recess for a half hour!
Please be aware that the book
fair will be held on MONDAY evening. You
may bring your child to purchase Scholastic books after school from 4-7pm in
our school library. Your child may also
buy during their library class which will be on Thursday- September 12th. A form should come home.
The first PTO meeting of the year
will be on Monday- September 9th at 6:30 in the school cafeteria!
Please return your child’s order
form from PTO for a free tshirt for your child!
You only have to choose the size!
***Our lunch time is changing to
12:15- 12:45 due to congestion in the cafeteria which was causing confusion for
the kindergarteners! We will still have
snack before recess at 10:45. Please
continue to send a snack with your child every day!
Have
an Outstanding Weekend!
