To celebrate Halloween we will be doing a little party on Friday, October 29th in the afternoon. If you would like to bring in a little treat for our class that would be great! We will be having a fun day on Friday doing lots of Halloween activities. Students will not be able to wear costumes to school that day.
The school Harvest Festival will be this Friday, October 29th on our campus. This is such a fun night! You can wear a costume, play some games and win lots of candy! Please come out and have a great time!
It is starting to get cold outside and that means it is sweater season! Sweaters and sweatshirts that are acceptable in the classroom are solid red, navy blue or white. If your student wears a different color not in dress code they may wear it outside but not in the classroom. Please label your student’s sweater or jacket. If it goes missing it is much easier to find if it is labeled with a first and last name.
This week homework will go home today, Monday, and is due on Friday. We are working on writing words that we are learning to sound out in phonics. Please make sure that your student can sound out the words and tell you what they are. Blending can be a tough skill for some students so be patient with your child. Some fun games to play to help with this are letter Bingo or a game we call “Flyhunter.”
Also please count with your student every night. Our next goal to count to without skipping any numbers is 50. Please also review what the teen numbers look like, these are often a challenge for students.

Week of October 11th
Welcome to our short week! I have just a few reminders before the fall break:
This Wednesday, October 13th, is the last day of the first quarter. Report cards will be going home that day and it will be a half day with no lunch and no after school. Please make sure that you are here to pick up your student at 11:30!
We are going to the Pumpkin Patch on the 21st of October. If you would like to come on the trip with us you will need to get your fingerprints done in the office and make sure that they have a copy on file. Parents will also probably need to drive themselves due to limited space on the bus. The cost is $6 and your student will need to bring a sack lunch with them that day for our picnic at Reid Park afterwards.
Due to the short week this week we will not have any homework. Please practice with your student the letters that we have learned so far this year: L, H, G, O, T, P and A. Have your student tell you the sound that each letter makes and identify upper and lower case of each of the letters.
Also please count with your student every night. Our next goal to count to without skipping any numbers is 50. Please also review what the teen numbers look like, these are often a challenge for students.
No school Thursday and Friday, October 14th and 15th. Have a great fall break!
Also the 13th is the last day for the Cookie Dough sale. Please turn in any order forms by Wednesday.
Wednesday is also Friday dress. Your student may wear blue jeans and an LPA shirt. Please make sure that your student is wearing blue jeans and not another color of jeans.
I hope everyone has a great break and we will see you back at 8:30 on Monday, October 18th!

Week of October 4th
Welcome to another wonderful week of school! This Thursday, October 7th, is our 40th day of school! We will be having a big celebration that day and even get to wear our pajamas to school. Please make sure that your student is in school that day, it is very important that we have everyone in class this Thursday.
We are planning a trip to the Pumpkin Patch this month! We are very excited about this trip and I will be sending home the permission slip this week. If you would like to come on the trip with us you will need to get your fingerprints done in the office and make sure that they have a copy on file. The cost is $6 and your student will need to bring a sack lunch with them that day for our picnic at Reid Park afterwards.
If you would like to come and volunteer in class, or join us for fieldtrips throughout the year, you need to get your fingerprints done in the front office. I would like to recommend doing it through the state though there is a cost. This gives you a fingerprint clearance card that can be used for 7 years!
We have been practicing writing our numbers and writing the letters t, o, and p. Please work on this with your student at home! I will send a homework sheet home on Tuesday for the students to practice their numbers and letters. It will be due back on Friday. We are slowly working up to homework packets.
This week we will also be learning about the letter “P” and “A”. How to write it correctly and what sound the letter makes. I would like to start a picture wall of items that you and your student might find that start with the letter “P” or “A”. Please send in any pictures or items that you think would be a good addition to our wall!
Next week is our end of the quarter. Please remember that Wednesday October 13th, is a half day with no lunch and no after school.
Looking forward to another wonderful week of kindergarten!
