Kindergarten News: October 3-7, 2011

In phonics next week, we will be learning “Tt” as in tent, tail, and tie. We are 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 reading we will read the story Dig, Dig, Digging.  We will discuss how machines help people.  We will also focus on classifying and categorizing.  In math students will practice acting out story problems and identifying ordinal positions to fourth.  We also begin talking about sequence and review number identification.

Wednesday, October 5th at 6 pm there will be a meeting for anyone interested in helping with the Kindergarten Fall Festival.  The meeting will be held at the Mineshaft in Ashland. 

Thank you to all of the parents that sent in apple for our projects this week.  Please be sure to ask your child about all the fun apple activities we did to celebrate the birthday of Johnny Appleseed! 
***Monday, October 10th will be a school day for students!  We will be making- up the day we missed due to the flood.*** 
Book orders are due Friday, October 7th.  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.
Don’t forget to send in your child’s money ($3) for the Fall Festival.
As the weather starts to get cooler, we’re asking that you write your child’s name in their coat.  Many Kindergarten students are having a hard time keeping track of their coats.
