Hello
Kindergarten Families!
Recap
of the Week: Last week we learned about voting
and veterans. We also worked on the sounds sh, th and wh. Thank you all for making the time to
come to our parent-teacher conferences. I thoroughly enjoyed getting a chance
to know families better and talk about your Kindergartners.
Math: We will be rolling dice to find
the amount of turkey pictures to glue on to different sections of a paper. We
will also be making patterns with Thanksgiving themed items.
Literacy: This week we will
work on the ch sound. We will also learn the difference between consonants and
vowels. We will continue to practice sounding out short words.
Writing: In handwriting
we will work on the letters Q, G and S. We will write some things that we are
thankful for and write about “If I was going to a new land, I would take…”
Social Studies & Art: This
week we will begin to learn about Thanksgiving. We will also decorate our Food
Drive box to put outside our classroom. We will discuss the difference between
wants and needs, and learn about the things the Pilgrims had when they came to
America.
Sharing: Thank you for helping
your student limit their sharing to only 1 item per day.
No
School: In
honor of Veterans Day, there will be NO SCHOOL on Tuesday, November 11th.
Food drive: Our school is partnering with the church in this
year’s food drive. We will have a box outside our classroom for your child to donate
some non-perishable items, such as canned or boxed food. This will help make up
the food boxes the church gives out during the holiday season. The food drive
continues through December.
LAPSK Board: A board of church members and parents supports our
school. Between 9:00-11:00 on Thursday (November 13th) you have a
chance to meet them and share any thoughts and ideas. It will take place in the
Conrad room upstairs.
Family Fun Night: This month we are having our first family fun night. The theme is “Make and Take Holiday Crafts” and is free! Due to unforeseen circumstances the date
has changed to Friday November 21st.
Bake Sale: Our Bake Sale is coming up on November 24th and 25th
during school hours. We would love to have donated items to sell such as
breads, pies, cakes, or cookies, etc. If you are not a baker, maybe you can
come by and purchase some of the tasty treats!
Fundraisers: Our other current fundraisers are Box
Tops for Education, Fred Meyer (you can support our school by going to https://www.fredmeyer.com/topic/community-rewards-4
and adding Little Acorn to your rewards account), Scholastic Book Orders (http://www.scholastic.com/ our school

Volunteer
Hours: You
may make donations of supplies or snacks to the school and it will go towards
your 2 hours of volunteer time. A list of the school needs is posted outside
our classroom or you can talk to Teacher Katie. Thanks!
Outside
Time:
Please send your kindergartner to school with coats and footwear appropriate
for the weather. Remember we go outside as much as we can, as long as it is not
too cold and there is not too much of a downpour.
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.
Sickness: If your
Kindergartener is sick, please call the school office, or you can send me an
email or a text so we can keep track of illnesses. With cold and flu season
upon us, please have your child wash their hands before coming into the
classroom. Remember to keep kids home if they are running a fever, have a runny
nose with mucus, or a constant cough that they can't keep covered. If they
can't participate in our class activities, let them stay at home and get
better. Thanks for your help in keeping illness to a minimum.
Weather Related School Closures: We are getting to the time of year, where there may be some
severe weather. Remember, if Vancouver School District declares a 2 Hour Late
Start or is Closed, then our school will be closed too. In case of bad weather,
watch for emails and/or text message notifications from Little Acorn and from
our Remind.com accounts.
Please
feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. Send a text, give me
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,
Teacher
Sinead & Teacher Caroline
