Week of November 9

Kindergarten Newsletter for the week of November 9th – 13th
This week we will be having our parent-teacher conferences. Please contact me asap if you returned a form and didn’t receive a conference date. I sent these time confirmation notes home on Thursday. You can call me at any time to schedule a conference. It doesn’t have to be held this week. (874-3661 ext. 3241)
Please return your child’s report card in their folder after you sign it. Thank you!
In math we’ll be working on sets of ten, more filling in missing numbers on number lines and in ascending and descending lines of numbers. We will work with the numbers up to 10.
In phonics we’ll be learning more about the letter Mm. Show and tell will be on Wednesday. We’ll be working on hearing and identifying the initial and final sounds heard in words. Also we will play a game to rhyme words. We will unblend words and count the sounds. Lastly, we will begin a new take home story. It is called Hop on the Mop! Look for it at the end of the week.
We will begin a new book this week in Reading. It is called Armadillo’s Orange. It is an animal fantasy book about what lives in an orange grove. We will be working with the letter Ss in this story. Many children are familiar with this sound, but confuse it with Cc. We will discuss proper nouns, setting and sequence. Please continue to practice the high frequency words that were sent home on fish.
It’s hard to believe that the first marking period is over and it is less than 3 weeks until Thanksgiving. We will be learning about The Pilgrims and Native Americans until Thanksgiving.
