Kindergarten News
This
week we will be starting our 4th story for Reading, Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip with
Kindergarten. Watch for your Family
Times newsletter to come home on Monday. We will be talking about People in Communities and will be
learning how to classify and categorize. Continue to read at home and practice the high
frequency words; I, am, at, the, yes, no, in,
on, not, a, and, and little;
practice rhyming and counting syllables in words and identifying the
letters from Aa-Zz. This
week we will begin working with the letters Ll,
Oo, and Gg and will practice letter sounds and blending sounds to read the
words log and go. When practicing letter sounds we will learn both short o as in octopus and long o as in overalls.
September “AR” Book Buddy recording sheets
will be due on Wednesday, Sept. 30th. Any student who has read 15 or more books will receive a
monthly treat and a “punch” on his/her AR ticket, and will
be eligible for prizes at the end of the school year!!!
For
Math we will be finishing up with Topic 15: Position and Location of Shapes. Be sure to review daily practice pages and review the positional
words/concepts inside, outside, in front of, behind, next to, above, below, on, left, and
right.
Our
theme for the week will be APPLES. Students are asked to bring in an apple
on Monday, September 28th. The
apple can be any size, color, or kind.
Each day of the week we will use the apples for sorting, graphing,
and/or tasting! It should be a sweet
week!!!
The
PTO school store will open on Monday, Sept. 28th. Kindergarten students will be able
to shop on a MONDAYS from 8:20-8:45.
Students are asked to shop ONLY on this day and 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 backpacks where THEY can reach it easily for shopping BEFORE
homeroom.
With
fall and the cooler weather upon us,
please be sure your child has the proper clothing for a ½ hour outside recess. Kindergarten tries to get out for “fresh air” and time to run around whenever the weather allows. Temperatures can vary from morning to
afternoon and sometimes the shady areas of the playground are chilly. Better to be prepared with a
jacket/sweater/sweatshirt than be underdressed. Also, please have your child practice zippering and/or
buttoning his/her coat and “pulling” the sleeves right-side out before attempting to put it on. Thank you!!!
9/28-10/2 is
Spartan Homecoming Spirit Week! **Spirit
week is a fun filled week to show your school spirit, however school rules and
dress code still apply. Keep your
outfits fun, but school appropriate!
There is NO hat day so hats are NOT allowed all week.
Monday, 9/28 – Idol Day (dress like your idol)
Tuesday, 9/29 – Decades Day (dress like
they did in your favorite decade)
Wednesday, 9/30 – Team Day (show your
team pride by wearing their colors)
Thursday, 10/1 – Opposite Day (wear
something opposite of how you typically
dress)
Friday, 10/2 – Spartan Pride Day &
Homecoming Pep Rally @ 9:30 in the NSE gym (fill our school
with RED and BLUE)
**Continue to help your child practice/learn his/her 4-digit computer
number. This will help him/her log into the computer quickly and give him/her
more time to work when using computers at school. (We can also stop
wearing our name badges to lunch and library once all students know their ID number
for the cooks and librarians!)
