week of October 14, 2014

This week in class:

Math:  Our topic is Comparing and Ordering numbers 0-5.  Please practice counting as high as you can!  Awesome job on the Topic 1 test and thanks for signing and returning it so quickly!

Reading/Phonics: Our new story is called: “Flowers!” and the skill we will be focusing on is comparing and contrasting.  We are also working on vowel Aa.  We will be working on labeling and nouns for more than one.  In small groups, we are working on letter identification and first sounds of words and reading sentences.  We also will be listening for sequence. 

Science: We started working on the topic “How do we solve problems?”

We will be looking at different ways to solve problems and looking at how to come up with several solutions.

Reminders:

Please keep the sight word envelope in the folder.  We will fill the envelope with the flash cards as we introduce them in school.  Please practice those daily.  The words include: I, am, the, little, have, is, to, a, my, we.

Art shirts and extra clothes may be labeled and left in cubbies for the year in case they are needed.

A big thank you! for all of the parents, volunteers, administration, staff, maintenance that  helped Kindergarten with the Fall Festival.  The day was gorgeous and the activities were wonderful. A good time was had by all!

Happy Columbus Day!
