September 23-27

In Reading we will read the book Animal Babies in Grasslands by Jennifer Schofield. We will be talking about grassland animals, and practice the comprehension skill main idea.  The words we, my, and like will be introduced as new high frequency words.

For Math, we will finish working on identifying shapes.  We will begin numbers 1-10.

Our Science theme for the week will be APPLES.  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 10th.  We are asking that each child please donate $3.00 for the Fall Festival. Please send it all donations by Tuesday, October 9th if you haven’t done so already!  Students will be permitted to wear gym clothes on Fall Festival Day no matter what their special is. 

AR (accelerated reader) lists are due on Tuesday, October 1.  Each child had to read 15 books to receive the Pizza Hut certificate.  A new October paper will be sent home on October 1.
