Hi Kindergarten Families,
Hope to see you at the Harvest Festival tonight from 5-9!
The new "Star of the Day", this round is about "bring a stuffed animal". You can put it in a bag with your child's name and 3 clues and return to school.

Reading: In centers, we have one more book with sight words and then we will be starting short vowel sounds. The first book is "Nat at Bat". Again, please read at home. Also, when you read at home find books that are at your child's comfort level (Meaning that they can read it with only making a few errors). If not reading yet, have them use a book and tell their own story using the pictures. Many scholastic books have books that are easy readers and you can find them on their website. As you read together at home, students can locate sight words in books that you read together and talk about characters and settings.
New Theme: “Monsters and Wild Things”! Our book we will be reading is “Where the Wild Things Are”. This theme is a great way to discuss the concepts of “Fiction” vs. “Non-Fiction” which we will be comparing through a variety of books and charting the differences between each genre. We will also talk about the “characters”, “setting”, “problem” and “solution” in each book that we read. While reading with your child at home, please ask them to identify these story elements in their favorite stories.
Art/Music/Science: We will be finishing up our facts on bats and spiders. Last, we will be making our own bat. We also have an art teacher that will be coming weekly to our classroom on Thursdays.
Word wall words of the week: "you", "for"
Math: Students will practice counting forward and backward within 20 using the number line and “counting collections”. They will continue to practice a variety of math strategies with partner collaboration to solve word problems and number sentences. They are using a number line to tell addition/subtraction stories in class.
Upcoming Events:
October 16 Spirit Day-Matching Day-Find a friend or two to match outfits!
October 16-Piggie Pie Play
October 31-Halloween Parade for Kinder only will be at 10:45 in the upper quad. Families welcome to come and watch! Halloween Party-12:45-2:00 in our classroom.
