Hi Families!
Here is what’s going on in Kindergarten next week:
Here is what’s going on in Kindergarten next week:
Our first field trip is this next Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2018. At this moment, we do not have enough drivers to go on the field trip. If you are a chaperone, please fill out paperwork to take your own child. If we can't get any more drivers, there is a chance that I can put people in Mrs. Christensen's chaperones' cars. However, we don't have everyones permission slip. If not turned in, they will remain at school and be in another class. Also, all chaperones and students must be present at school to be able to attend the field trip. This is a district policy! Please make sure you have a booster seat with your name and leave it in front of the class. Also, students need a sack lunch and sweatshirt because it can be cold at Live Earth Farms. Also, we will be leaving at 8:15 am. So, please be here on time. Thanks!
Art/Science/Theme: We will finish up our unit of Apples with a fun lesson about Johnny Appleseed. Students will be making a seasonal apple tree project. These are one of our favorite apple projects. They will be introduction to addition with apples! To conclude this fun apple unit, we will celebrate our learning with an Apple Party on Friday!
Math: Students are learning about “5 frames” and “10 frames”. They are also learning the concept of subitizing, which is the ability to see a small amount of objects and quickly know how many there are without counting (such as memorizing the amount of dots on a dice). Students will play math games at centers with race to 5, spill 5 beans, and recognizing numbers.
Word of the Week: “go, at”. Students will practice writing an “I like to _____.” sentence.

We will continue discussing the concept of the growth mindset. We talked about how the brain is a muscle and how we need to exercise it in order for it to grow. One way to do this is to keep trying and never give up. If we stop trying our brains shut down and get lazy. So in kindergarten, we are learning how to exercise our brains and if we don't know how to do something we can use the term, "I can't do that, YET!". Next week, we will discuss the difference between a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset.
RTI will begin on Monday, September 24th. As we discussed at Back to School Night, RTI (Response to Instruction) is our school-wide leveled reading program. This program is designed to meet the specific reading needs of each child. Students will move from group to group according to their ability, needs and growth. I will send home a note in each student’s folder letting you know who your child’s RTI teacher will be during this time. There will likely be a few changes throughout the next few weeks as we really get to know your child’s specific reading skills so we might move them to different groups accordingly and we will inform you of these changes as they come up.
Have a great weekend,
Ms. Werner
