~In the upcoming week, we will be learning “Tt” as in tent, tail, and tie. I am very proud of how well our class is doing with learning the letters and their sounds. They are doing a great job blending letters and reading short words! In Math we will be working more with graphing, shapes, sorting, and numbers. We will also start learning about AB patterns. In Reading we will begin the story Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip with Kindergarten. We will be discussing people in communities. Students will be learning letter recognition and how to classify and categorize. Please review your “Family Time” when it comes home on Monday for more details.
~On Monday, October 4th, there will be a Fall Festival meeting after the PTO meeting. This meeting is for anyone who would like to help plan the Kindergarten Fall Festival.
~Please remember to send in a note with your child if they are absent. There were a lot of students absent this week and very few notes were sent in. The office needs these so that your child does not get an “unexcused” absence. Also, if possible, please call me in the morning (874-3661 ext. 3235) and let me know that your child is going to be absent so we can arrange for homework to be picked up or sent home with another student. We are starting to get deep in the Kindergarten curriculum and it’s very hard for students to catch up if they miss a day’s work.
~Book orders are due Friday, October 15th. You can send in your orders with a check made out to Scholastic Book Clubs or order online at www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs and use class activation code GM3BC.
~Students brought home their first Library book on Wednesday. These books need to come back to school on Wednesday for Library class and then they’ll get new books to bring home.
~Picture retakes will be Monday, October 18th. More information will be sent home.
~We will celebrate our school spirit and Homecoming with a pep rally on Friday, October 8th! Students will attend the pep rally in the gym at NSE on Friday at 9:30. Make sure your child shows their school spirit and wears RED and BLUE!!!!!
~Don’t forget to send in your child’s party money. Each child needs to bring in $6.00 and that will cover the cost for the Fall Festival, Halloween, and Christmas parties.
