Week of September 25-29, 2017

Kindergarten News

            Congratulations to ALL the students who have earned their second DRESS DOWN day for our PBIS behavior plan.  They have shown they can follow the rules and PARTICIPATE!  This week we will be looking for students to Act Respectful!  If they earn 3 stamps by Thursday afternoon (9/28), then they will earn another DRESS DOWN day for Friday!!!

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, the, and little; practice rhyming and counting syllables in words and identifying the letters from Aa-Zz.  

**Word Lists for “Camera Words”/ sight words, were checked this past week!  Check the list enclosed in your child’s folder (PLASTIC SHEET).  Please keep the list there, but use it to study the appropriate list(s) for your child.  Lists should be checked every week or week and a half as time allows.  Be sure to practice daily!!

            September “AR” Book Buddy recording sheets will be due on Friday, Sept. 29th.  Any student who has read 15 or more books will receive a monthly treat!!

            For Math, we will be finishing up with Topic 14: Identifying and Describing Shapes.  Be sure to review daily practice pages and review the 2 and 3 dimensional shapes circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, cube, cylinder, cone, and sphere.  Please review, sign, and return tests as they come home in RETURN.

            Our Science theme for the week will be APPLES.  Students are asked to bring in an apple (or 2) on Monday, September 25th.  **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 Kindergarten Fall Festival will be held on Thursday, October 5th.   All volunteers who will be participating at the Fall Festival MUST have all 4 clearances (Child Abuse, Criminal, FBI Fingerprinting, and Mandated Reporter Training) on file in the office.  The Fall Festival is not a PTO event, so you do not have to be a member of the PTO to help.  **Anyone who has not yet sent in his/her $3.00 donation for the Fall Festival is asked to do so ASAP.

            The Kindergarten Field Trip will be Friday, October 20th.  Permission slips/forms were enclosed in RETURN.  **Please complete and return forms as soon as possible.  (CHAPERONE forms are also enclosed for any eligible PTO members with all the required clearances on file.)

October Scholastic Book Orders will be due by Wednesday, October 4th.    (Orders can be placed online with the classroom code GJXGV or sent to the teacher in an envelope.)
