Kindergarten News

~In the upcoming week we will be learning the letter Hh as in hat, hippo, and horse. Letter Hh is a consonant. As part of our study with the letter Hh we will have a “Hat Day” on Friday, October 2nd. Students are asked to wear a favorite hat, a funny hat, or even a homemade hat. You can be creative with this if you want! Students will be able to wear the hat all day—we do just ask that students do not share hats. Show and Tell will be with items that begin with the /h/ sound. Check your schedule and start hunting!
~In Math we will begin learning about patterns in Chapter 2. Try to find patterns around your home. Students should even try making patterns with colors, shapes, and objects. Some ideas include using buttons, lego blocks, fruit loops, m&m’s, skittles, etc…
~In reading, we will continue with the story Plaidypus Lost and begin the story Miss Bindergarten takes a Field Trip. This book will teach about community cooperation and a community based field trip!
~We have been practicing writing our first names. Please watch your child as he/she is writing. Be sure to check if letters are beginning at the top, not the bottom and also guide him/her to use the lines when forming the letters. Thank you!
~Box tops for education, Turkey Hill Moo lids and Campbell’s labels will be collected at the end of each month. If you have any at your home, then please send them to school with your child. The box tops, lids and labels help our school to earn extra money and the homeroom with the most collected each month will receive a treat from PTO!

Monday will be Day 2 on our special classes’ schedule.
Have a Great weekend!
