Happy Halloween

*Readers will start coming home on Tuesdays and can be practiced Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night. We will introduce the reader the week before, review it on Monday and send it on Tuesday. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.*
Just a reminder, conferences for Grades Kindergarten to 3 will be held from 4-6 pm on Tuesday, November 1. We hope to see you there!
Our new letter is Nn like in Nest. We will continue to review letter sounds and use them to blend words in the word list. If you have any questions/concerns about the blending or the word list, feel free to let us know.
Our new Reading Story is “Bear Snores On” and we will sequence the story and compare this fiction story to our last story, “Animal Babies in Grasslands” which was nonfiction. We will also be talking about animal hibernation. We just finished up our study of nocturnal animals, with a focus on Bats for Halloween!
In Math, we will be reviewing shapes, numbers 0-10, and aspects of the calendar. We have already introduced a penny and its value, but feel free to talk about other coins and their values at home or in the community.
This past week, we were able to Skype with one of the computer teachers, Ms. Kraft. She is in South Africa to help share technology with communities there. We were able to ask questions about her visit.
We also celebrated Red Ribbon week and the “Just Say No” campaign. We will have our lesson with Ms. Rowland this upcoming week.
A big Kindergarten thank you goes out to Chase’s parents for coming in to share 911 and safety tips with all of us. It was a great culmination to Fire Safety Month and community helpers.
Just a reminder, please do not send in candy for snack. Thanks for your cooperation!
