We had a fantastic
time at our Pajama party today! The class got to participate in lots of “Pp” activities. It was definitely a PERFECT day! Next week we will be learning about the
letter “Aa” as in apple, alligator,
and astronaut.
This week in Reading
we reread “Dig, Dig, Digging.” We learned that trucks,
tractors, fire engines and helicopters all work very hard! But, after a long, happy day of beep-beeping
and vroom-vrooming, even the hardest working machines need to rest. Next week, we’ll begin Unit 2, Animals Live Here, and read the story “Life in the Ocean.”
In Math
we will name shapes using 3 attributes, compare triangles and squares, and
order numbers from 1-10. We will also
continue to practice AB patterns and sorting.
Thursday was the Kindergarten
Fall Festival and it was a HUGE success thanks to all of the
parents and grandparents who helped.
Students got to make fall crafts, taste some fall foods, and even go on
a hayride! A special thank you to the
following individuals and organizations that made donations to our special day:
*Mr. Ray Reichwein for donating his wagon
and tractor for our hayride.
*Boyer’s grocery stores for donating
cookies.
*Home Depot for donating scarecrows and
other fall items for the fall scene picture station.
*Sara Lee for their donation of many
goodies!
*
Hart Farms of Ringtown for their
donations of pumpkins!!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and in
an effort to promote awareness students are invited to wear pink every
Thursday during the month of October!
Please note that students are allowed to wear Spartan t-shirts, even
though it’s not gym day, as long as they are pink!
PTO
is selling pink bracelets at
the school store for $2. The proceeds of this sale will benefit one of
our NSE teachers who is battling breast
cancer. If you would like to purchase
bracelets please send the money in an envelope with your child’s name, the

of this cause is greatly appreciated!
