Homework

Wednesday - Practice and sign reader and sight words

Thursday - Practice and sign reader and sight words

There is no school on Monday, October 11th and Tuesday, October 12th. Enjoy the long weekend!
Next week in Math we will practice acting out story problems and identifying ordinal positions to fourth.
In Reading, we will begin the story Julius. We will discuss how people and animals work and play together. We will continue to discuss characters, setting, sequence, and classifying.
Great job to everyone who did their reading this week. We really saw the progress when we were working in small groups this week. We are going to attach an envelope to everyone’s folder. In the envelope we will store the reader for the week along with our sight words. This way nothing will get lost going back and forth. Please continue to sign and comment each night.
We will not start a new letter in phonics next week due to the short week. Instead we will review l, o, g, h, t and sight words.
Please continue to practice your child’s computer number with them. Mr. Vebrosky and I are very proud of the students who already have their numbers memorized. This is a big help and allows students to spend more time on the computer instead of waiting to be logged on.
The Kindergarten Fall Festival will be on Thursday, October 14th (rain date, Friday, October 15th.) Students are permitted to wear “gym clothes” for the Fall Festival even if it is not their gym day. Please remember that the dress code is still in effect and jeans are not permitted.
Help is still needed for the Fall Festival. Set up will begin at 7:30 AM on Thursday! Even if you haven’t done anything to help with the Fall Festival preparations you can still help! Please contact Dana Oravitz at danao2@verizon.net or 874-2031 if you would like to help. All volunteers must have clearances to help at the Fall Festival.
There are a few students who didn’t bring in their party money. Please remember to send in the $6 next week. We need the money to pay for supplies needed at the Fall Festival.
We had an awesome time at the Pep Rally today! Go Spartans!
As the weather starts to get cooler, we ask that you write your child’s name in their coat. Many Kindergarten students have the same coat and are having a hard time to keeping track of their own.
