Kindergarten news for the week of October 28th - November 1st!!


Kindergarten news for the week of October 28th – November 1st

Next week in phonics we will be learning about the letter Mm as in monkey.  You can see how your child did on their first word list test.  This will come home on Monday.  Word list 2 is in their folder to practice for next week.  Your child may grow a mustache by the end of the week!  I did have many parents that said they would like a list of the sight words we’ve learned so far.  These will come home next week in an envelope.  Please keep them at home to practice!

Please return your conference form if you have not already sent it.  You will get an assigned time on November 4th.  Also return your party money as soon as you can.  We have not received money from 10 children.

Here is a list of people who donated to our fall festival.  We would like to thank everyone for their generosity! 

-Hart Farms of Ringtown for their donations of pumpkins

-Mr. Bob Burns and Mr. Jim McAndrew for letting us use their tractor and wagon for the hayride

-Boyer’s Grocery Store, Frackville, for donating cookies

-Hillshire Farms (Sara Lee) for their donation of hot dogs

-American Hose Co, Fountain Springs for bringing a fire truck

-American Legion of Mahanoy City for their monetary donation

 

In math this week we will continue comparing numbers up to 10.  We will also begin the discussion of 1 more and 1 fewer and 2 more and 2 fewer.

 

The next reading story will be called Animal Babies in Grasslands.  This is considered a concept book and has real pictures.  We will discuss the comprehension skill “Main idea”.

 

Please send your child’s Halloween costume in a bag labeled with their name.  We will not put on costumes until after lunch in the afternoon.  The children should not wear their costumes to school.  We do not want them ruined at lunch or recess.  Anyone may come to watch our school-wide parade.  This will be held at 2:15.  Parties will follow the parade!
