Kindergarten News
There will be NO School for students on Monday, October 11 (Columbus Day) and Tuesday, October 12 due to a Teacher In- Service and an ACT 80 day. School will reopen on Wednesday.
Wednesday will be Day 2 on the school rotation schedule. Students will have gym class on Thursday, October 14th so gym attire and sneakers are needed. **Please note this is also fall festival day and students will be outside most of the day—so no shorts please.
Due to the short school week we will not start a new Phonics lesson. We will review all letters learned. (l, o, g, h, & t) Please take some time to review at home too! There will be NO show and Tell either. Practice the words log, hog, hot, got, lot, and go.
We will begin the story Julius in Reading. Watch for your Family Times newsletter to come home. Continue to read at home and practice the high frequency words I, am, the, little, to, a, of, and you; practice rhyming and counting syllables in words and identifying the letters from Aa-Zz.
In Math we will be identifying, describing and comparing triangles and squares and describing the position of objects and working on AB patterns. Continue to review daily worksheets.
Thursday, October 14th (rain date Friday 10/15) will be the Kindergarten Fall Festival. Any parents or grandparents who have clearances on file in the office are invited to help. Volunteers are needed so please contact Dana Oravitz --danao2@verizon.net / 874-2031 if available to help. Set up will begin at 7:30. All activities will be outside (weather permitting), so please check the weather and dress your child accordingly. Please NO SHORTS and send a jacket as needed! Boys and girls are to follow the dress code (NO JEANS). Sneakers are a must for gym class! The Fall Festival is planned for the morning and afternoon with breaks for lunch, and special classes. Students will also get to spend most of the time with their 4th grade Reading Buddies!
Anyone who has not yet turned in Fall Festival and Party money is asked to try and send it in as soon as possible. The parents who are planning the Fall Festival and Halloween party will need to shop for supplies and goodies. Thank you for your cooperation.
**Due to the Fall Festival scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 14th, we will have Library class on Friday, Oct. 15th instead. Boys and girls will NEED their library books for exchange. If the weather is bad on Thursday, we will have library class as usual and books will be needed on Thursday. (To be safe you may want to send them to school Thursday anyway and keep them there!) Library books are always due back to school on the scheduled Library Day (usually Thursdays).
REMINDERS:
· October Scholastic book orders will be due on Wednesday, Oct. 13th for anyone interested in ordering this month.
· NSE PTO clothing sale orders and money are also due on Wednesday, Oct. 13th. (Forms were sent home on Thurs. Oct. 7th.)
