Next week in Reading we will continue the unit, “Animals Live Here.” We are going to be reading the story Animal Babies in Grasslands and will talk about grassland animals. We will focus on the story element main idea. There will also be 3 new sight words next week (we, my, like.) Please send in your child’s sight word flash cards so we can add the new words. If their flash cards are not in their folder we will put the new cards the sleeve of their folder. We will begin testing for report cards next week so we will not start a new letter in Phonics. In Math we will identify numbers and put them in order. Students will also be introduced to their first coin, the penny.
Kindergarten students had a fantastic time at the Fall Festival on Thursday. A HUGE thank you to all of the volunteers who made this day so great for the kids!
Kindergarteners also did a great job this morning at the School Walk for Diabetes for Make a Difference Day at Spartan Stadium.
On Monday we had a program on drugs and alcohol with Diane Rowland. The class was on their best behavior and now they understand what Red Ribbon Week is all about! Next week we will celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Please see the pink paper that is in your child’s folder today for more information.
Friday, October 29th is the Halloween Party and Parade. Students are invited to bring their costume to school in a bag marked with their name. They will change into their costume before the parade with the help of teachers and homeroom parents. Please keep in mind that we have 25 students to get dressed in a short amount of time so please keep the costumes simple (no spraying hair, full face makeup, etc.) Family and Friends are invited to come see our Halloween Parade at 2:15 on Friday. The parade will take place in the bus loop in front of the school.
