~We have finished our second
week of school and the students are adjusting very well! We also learned to recognize and
write the letters “L & O” this week.
The students liked showing their “L” items from home for show-and-tell.
The boys and girls had a fun time at the little luau and loved the Limbo! Many enjoyed tasting a fresh cut
pineapple too.
~We
have started using the behavior calendar at the back of your child’s
communication folder. Check the
calendar daily to see what “kind” of day your child had at school. (An explanation of the calendar
was sent in the Keep side of the folder on Tuesday.)
~Our
Phonics letter for this week will be “Gg”
as in goat. The show-and-tell schedule for the letter “Gg” will be the same as
this past week, so be sure to check which day your child is to share! New
“brown bags” are in your child’s folder.
~On
Monday, we will begin our 2nd Reading story, Fix It Duck. We will work on recognizing the letters Ff, Gg, Hh,
Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm. and Nn. Watch for your Family
Times newsletter and take home story—Am
I? to come home in your child’s folder. Continue to read at home, talk about story characters and
setting, and read the high frequency words I
and am.
~In
Math we will continue to work with Topic 1: One to Five. Boys and Girls
have been practicing counting up to 5 objects and learning to write the numbers
1-5 correctly. Students should
practice writing the numbers from 0-9 while singing the number writing verses sent
home in their folders.
~Students
will have HOMEWORK most Monday through Thursday nights. Check the RETURN side of your child’s
folder for homework assignments and be sure to check what we’ve been working on
at school. Remind your child to
RETURN the completed work to school the next school day. Not only does homework reinforce what
we are working on at school, but also it teaches your child
responsibility. Thank you for your
support!!!
~PLEASE TAKE
NOTE: Kindergarten changed its LUNCH time starting Friday, September 6th
to 12:15-12:45 due to the crowded lunchroom at 1:10-1:40. It was difficult for Kindergarten
students to get through the crowded lunchroom and the noise level was too loud
for students to hear dismissal directions. With the change Kindergarten should be the only class in the
lunchroom for most of the lunch period.
Hopefully this will be better for all!
~Each
Wednesday our class will meet with their 4th grade Reading Buddies
from Mrs. Reinoehl’s homeroom.
Boys and girls have been matched up with 4th graders to
listen to stories and eventually practice their own reading skills. Be sure to ask your child about his/her
buddy.
~The
School-wide Book Fair will take place in the Library starting Monday, September
9th. All students will browse/shop during
their scheduled Library class. **Parents
will be able to shop with their child on Monday night from 4-7:00 p.m. if
interested. (**Please note that the Book Fair is separate from the Scholastic Book
Club order Mrs. Potts has due on Tuesday, September 10th)
~ There will be a PTO meeting
on Monday, Sept. 9th in the cafeteria beginning at 6:30. All are
invited and encouraged to attend.
~Some students had questions
about being allowed to have peanut butter in their packed lunches from
home. Even though we have a noted
NUT allergy for SNACKS, students CAN still bring peanut butter in their
lunches. It is only a problem with
class snacks that will be shared.
~We have begun our snack
rotation. Snack notices will
come home in your child’s folder as your scheduled day approaches.
Monday, Sept. 9th will
be Day 4, Art; Tuesday, Sept. 10th will be Day 5, Gym—NEED
gym attire and sneakers; Wednesday, Sept. 11th will be Computer
Class; Thursday, Sept. 12th will be Music; and Friday,
Sept. 13th will be Library Book Exchange and also our in-school Book Fair shopping time.
Thank you for all of your
cooperation!!!
Mrs. Potts
