September 16-20
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 continue working on identifying shapes.
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 Monday, 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.
Hearing screenings will be given this week to all kindergarteners.
Friday, September 20 is a $1.00 Dress Down Day.

ALL students will be photographed whether or not pictures are being purchased. Kindergarten will be photographed early in the morning so be on time to school! Also, if you DO NOT plan to purchase pictures, please send a note stating you do not want to buy pictures, so we are not looking for an order/money envelope that morning.

(Keep in mind that all volunteers helping the day of the Fall Festival must have all required clearances on file in the office by Oct.7th, as the Fall Festival will be held on Thursday, October 10th.) **If you would like to help, but cannot make the meeting on 9/10, then please send a note with your name and contact info.

August 30- September 6
There is no school on Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day.
For Reading we began with the story, The Little School Bus. A Family Times newsletter was sent home with details about the story and skills we will be working on. Please review the Amazing words, the ordinal numbers, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, letter recognition of letters Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, and Ee, the story element “character”, and the high frequency words I & am.
Continue to check your child’s communication folder daily. Items on the KEEP side need to be removed at home. Any money, notes, or items for the teacher to see NEED to be in your child’s folder. Mrs.Kaminsky doesn’t look through book bags---only the folders!
The September Scholastic Book orders are due by Friday, Sept. 13th. Orders can be placed online at www.scholastic.com/readingclub or send in orders and money to the teacher—cash or check made payable to Scholastic.
Try to make sure your child has his/her bus tag every day. The end of the day can be hectic and some children don’t know their bus numbers yet!
