Kindergarten News
~This week we will be learning the letter Hh as in hat, hippo, and horse. As part of our study with the letter Hh we will have a “Hat Day” on Friday, October 1st. **Students are asked to wear a favorite hat, a funny hat, or even a homemade hat. (You can be creative with this if you want! Students will be able to wear the hat all day—we do just ask that students do not share hats.) Show and Tell will be with items that begin with the /h/ sound. Check your schedule and start hunting!
~Our Reading story this week will be Plaidypus Lost. We will be talking about how families cooperate, we will be learning to recognize the letters Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, and Ss, and we will practice the comprehension skill: sequence. Watch for your new Family Times newsletter to come home in your child’s folder. Continue to read at home, talk about story characters and setting, and recognize the letters from Aa-Nn, as well as the high frequency words I and am.
~In Math we will explore the shapes; circle and rectangle, will identify and order numbers 1-5, identify a missing number and identify most and fewest on a graph. We also will begin to name shapes using three attributes (shape, color, and size). Please review the lessons sent home daily!!!
~The PTO store will be open for Kindergarten on a Monday from 8:30-8:45. Students are asked to shop only at this time. Please
do not put school store money in your child’s folder. (Teachers will not see it until after the store closes.) Students should keep it separate in book bags where they can reach it easily for shopping before homeroom.
Reminders:
Box tops for education and Campbell’s labels are being collected each month. If you have any at your home, then please send them to school with your child. The box tops and labels help our school to earn extra money and the homeroom with the most collected each month will receive a treat from PTO!
There will be an important meeting on Monday, September 27th at 6:00 pm at the Dutch Kitchen in Frackville to discuss the kindergarten fall festival. Anyone interested in helping is invited to go to the meeting.
Monday will be Day 4 – don’t forget sneakers on Thurs., 9/30.
