week of September 22, 2014


This week in class:
 
Math:  We started Topic 16 and we will be analyzing, comparing, and composing shapes.  We also have been writing numbers 0-10 and counting on our calendar and days of school as well.
 
Reading: Our new story is called: “Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip” and the skill we will be focusing on is classifying and categorizing.  We will identify jobs within a community. We are also working on syllables, rhymes, and rhythm daily.  In small groups, we are working on letter identification and sight words and reading sentences.  We also have started writing topics and have worked on: invitations, describing words, labels, and have gone over a period, exclamation mark, and quotation marks.
 
Science: We just wrapped up making observations and safety  and will be starting living/nonliving things.  We also started learning centers with independent work in small groups and everyone did a FANTASTIC JOB!
 
 
Reminders:
 
Please sign and return all stamped tests and papers as soon as possible.  We use them to track progress on Common Core Standards and appreciate your cooperation.
 
The $4.00 for Fall Festival is due as soon as possible.
 
There is no meeting for the Fall Festival this week, however, we need volunteers.  You only need clearances to do so and this is not a PTO event.
 
 
 
 
Important Dates:
Monday, Day 4, Gym
 
On Monday, September 22, we will be practicing an intruder drill.  An Alert Now message previously went out about this and we practiced it first.
 
All next week, we will be working on an Apple Unit for Johnny Appleseed’s birthday.  Please send in 1 apple by Wednesday with your child so that we can graph, count, compare/contrast, and make applesauce.
 
Happy Fall on September 23!
 
The school store starts next week. Kindergarten may only shop on Mondays.  Please make your child aware that the store is only open until the bell for homeroom.
