We had an exciting week in Phonics this week, we read our first word! All of our students were so surprised that they can read all by themselves! In the upcoming week we will be learning the consonant “Hh” as in hat, hippo, and horse. As part of our study of the letter “H” we will have “Hat Day” on Friday, October 1, 2010. Students are asked to wear a favorite hat, a funny hat, or even a homemade hat. Please feel free to be creative with this!
In Math we will be learning about sorting, graphing and comparing objects. We will identify, describe, and compare circles and rectangles. We will also practice counting to 100 by 1’s.
In Reading we will start the story Platypus Lost. We will be talking about how families cooperate. We will learn the letters Pp, Qq, Rr, and Ss. Our amazing words will be: platypus, around, lost, found, market, groceries. Please look over the “Family Times” when it comes home on Monday. There are GREAT ideas to help your child practice the skills that we are learning in class.
We have been practicing writing our first names. Please watch your child as he/ she is writing their name. Be sure to check that letters start at the top and guide them to use the lines. Also, please be sure that they only use a capital letter for the FIRST letter of their name.
Anyone who would like to help with the Kindergarten Fall Festival is invited to a meeting on Monday, September 27th at 6:00 at the Dutch Kitchen in Frackville.
On Friday, October 1st we will be attending a special program to kick off the Olweus Anti-bullying program in our school.
Everybody did a GREAT job with the All About Me Posters! The students loved sharing them with the class and we loved learning more about them! Most of the class has come out of their “shell” and is making friends with each other. I was very happy to see that most of the class listed their classmates as their friends!!!
Thank you to all the parents that were practicing the computer numbers with their child. This has been a big help to Mr. Vebrosky and myself. We appreciate your help!
There has been some confusion with the specials schedule. We do NOT have Gym every Thursday. Our specials rotate on a 4 day cycle. Please see the schedule and calendar in your child’s folder if you have any question. The schedule for next week is:
Monday: Day 4 (Gym) Tuesday: Day 1 (Computers) Wednesday: Day 2 (Art) Thursday: Day 3 (Music) Friday: Day 4 (Gym)
I am extremely PROUD of every child in our Kindergarten class! Our class has been getting lots of compliments from other teachers and staff members throughout the school. They are very impressed with the way that they follow school rules!
