Hat Day-Students are allowed to wear any hat they would like.

This week was an exciting week in Phonics… we read our first word! All of the students were so surprised that they can read all by themselves! In the upcoming week we will be learning the consonant “Hh” as in hat, hippo, and horse. We will have “Hat Day” on Friday, September 21st. Students are asked to wear a favorite hat, a funny hat, or even a homemade hat!

This week, we’ll read “Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip with Kindergarten.” We will be discussing people in communities. Students will be learning about classifying and categorizing. Please review your “Family Times” when it comes home on Monday for more details.

Some students are having a very hard time cutting. Please save the coupons from the newspaper and have students practice cutting on the dotted line.

Book orders are due on Monday, September 30.

On Monday, we had our first Guidance lesson with our Guidance Counselor Mrs. Hull.

The next Fall Festival meeting will be held on Sunday, September 29 at 5:30 at the Mineshaft in Ashalnd. 

 

 

**Please help your child practice/learn his/her 4-digit computer number. This will help him/her log into the computer quickly and give him/her more time to work when using computers at school.  (We can also stop wearing our name badges to lunch and library once all students know their ID number for the cooks and librarians!)

 

            With Fall and the cooler weather upon us, please be sure your child has the proper clothing for a ½ hour outside recess.  Kindergarten tries to get out for “fresh air” and time to run around whenever the weather allows.  Temperatures can vary from morning to afternoon and sometimes the shady areas of the playground are chilly.  Better to be prepared with a jacket/sweater/sweatshirt than be underdressed.  Also, please have your child practice zippering and/or buttoning his/her coat and “pulling” the sleeves right-side out before attempting to put it on.  Thank you!!!

 

         Hearing screens are scheduled for Tuesday, September 24^th.  Kindergarten should be tested from 10:00-11:00 am.  Discuss with your child the importance of being quiet while the testers are working with each student!

            We have begun 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 letters.  Capital letters should only be used at the beginning of names!

            Our Kindergarten class has begun a science unit called Trees.  We will be observing and comparing trees in and around the school.  We have adopted a maple tree as our “class tree” to watch throughout the seasons.  We’ve been learning about the tree parts; roots, trunk, branches, and leaves.  **Your child may come home with lots of information and questions about trees and tree parts.  You can join in the tree study by taking your child for walks in your neighborhood to observe trees and to compare how they are alike and how they are different.  See which trees lose their leaves in the fall and which keep them all year?  Look closely at the leaves.  Do the trees have buds, flowers, fruit, or seeds?  You might notice things about trees that you never thought about before!!!
