September 25-29
This week we will be starting our story for Reading, "Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip with Kindergarten".  We will be talking about people in communities and will be learning how to classify and categorize.  Continue to read at home and practice the high frequency words; I, am,the, and little; practice rhyming and counting syllables in words and identifying the letters from Aa-Zz.   

For Math we will be finishing up with Topic 15: Position and Location of Shapes.  Be sure to review daily practice pages and review the positional words/concepts inside, outside, in front of, behind, next to, above, below, on, left, and right.

Our Science theme for the week will be APPLES.  The apple can be any size, color, or kind.  Each day of the week we will use the apples for sorting, graphing, and/or tasting!  We will also enjoy the theme by celebrating Johnny Appleseed’s birthday! It should be a sweet week!!!

Sight Words are assessed once a week.  There are flash cards in your child’s folder that you should be using to review the words nightly.  Some of the class are still on List 1.   When your child moves on to a new list, continue to study the previous words along with the new list.  There will be “review” tests given throughout the year to make sure students know all the words and not just the list that they are working on that week. 

The Kindergarten Fall Festival will be held on Thursday, October 5th.  We are asking that each child please donate $3.00 for the Fall Festival. Please send it all donations by Friday, September 29th if you haven’t done so already!  Students will be permitted to wear gym clothes on Thursday no matter what their special is. 

On Friday, September 29th, I will be checking each student on their 5 number ID.  A treat will be given if they know it.

AR (accelerated reader) lists are due on Friday, September 29.  Each child had to read 15 books to receive the Pizza Hut certificate.  A new October paper will be sent home on October 2.
