Next week in reading we will begin Unit 2, “Animals Live Here.” The first story we will read is “Life in an Ocean.” We will discuss ocean environments. We will talk about the vowel “Aa” along with comparing and contrasting. Students will learn 2 new sight words: have, is. Please be sure that your child’s sight word flash cards are in their folder next week so we can add these new words. In phonics we will begin the letter “Pp” as in pig, pancake, and popcorn. On Friday, October 14th we will have a Pajama party to celebrate the letter “Pp.” Students are invited to wear their pajamas to school on Friday. Please, NO slippers! Students will participate in several activities to reinforce the letter “Pp.” In math we will discuss and compare triangles and squares. We will also practice AB patterns and sorting.
Monday, October 10th will be a school day for students! We will be making up the day we missed due to the flood. Monday’s lunch will be a hamburger or meatball hoagie.
The Kindergarten Fall Festival will be on Thursday, October 20th (NO RAINDATE.) Please send in your child’s Fall Festival money ($3) if you haven’t done so already. There will be a meeting for anyone interested in helping with the Fall Festival on Wednesday October 12th at the Mineshaft in Ashland.
