This week we will introduce the Weather to our Calendar lesson. We will talk about what it is like outside and match that with words and pictures to display on our class bulletin board. At the end of the week, we will take a look back and discuss whether the weather was the same or if it changed.
For Math, we will continue working on 1 to 1 correspondence activities. We will match sets of objects to numbers. We will also do an activity where we make a class graph from the letters in our names.
We will learn our alphabet chant this week. We will learn actions that go along with the sound of every letter. By Friday we will be able to act out a signal for each of the 26 letters.
In Handwriting, we will work on the letters E, D, and P. We will talk about "frog hops" where we lift our pencil to make another part of the letter, rather than tracing back over the same lines.
In Science, we are going to continue Living and Non-living by reading a mini-book about what living things need to grow. We will also look at leaves and classify them by colors and shapes. We will go outside and observe the trees around us to learn about deciduous and coniferous trees.
Picture Day is coming! Individual and class pictures will be taken on Oct. 6th, 7th or 9th. The dates have been changed since my last newsletter. Watch for more information on prices and which day our photos will be taken.
Bike Helmets: Remember to send a helmet to school for your child if he or she would like to ride on tricycles or scooters during outside play. Bikes are out on sunny days.
Newsletter: The weekly classroom newsletter will be posted on the website each Sunday by 5pm. Also you can have it emailed to you or the link texted to you via "Remind" on your smart phone. Reading the newsletter each week will keep you up to date with classroom activities and upcoming school events.
Kindred: This week we will walk across the street to sing to the residents of Kindred. We will do this once a month. The residents are mostly older folks who are unable to stay alone in their homes due to health issues. They love having the kids come and sing to them. We call them the "Grandmas and Grandpas" and let the kids know how happy it makes these folks to have us visit. Parents are welcome to join us any time. This week we will go on Thursday morning (September 18th) at 10:!5 AM.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. I am fine with a text or a call, or you can email. I am here to help you and your child have a great kindergarten year!
Thank you for sharing your child with us.
