Week of September 6th

Welcome back to another very exciting week of kindergarten! I hope that everyone had a very nice, relaxing long weekend and is ready for tomorrow!
Our first Duds for Dollars is tomorrow, Wednesday, September 7th. Students may dress down in whatever they would like to wear, with in dress code, if they bring a dollar into school! This is a great way to raise money for our classroom and a chance to let the students show off their style!
It was so nice having a chance to meet with all of the parents again this last week at Open House! Thank you for coming by and taking a look at our room and some of the great learning we will be doing this year.
We really like to paint in class so if each student could bring in an old shirt that they put on when we paint, that would be great! It will go over the clothes they are wearing so a big shirt is probably a good idea. Please make sure that you write your student’s name on the tag of the shirt so that there is no confusion about whose shirt is whose! We will probably use these throughout the year as well during painting time.
We have been practicing writing our names in class these first weeks of school and making sure that the only letter that is capitalized in our name is the first letter. Please work on this with your student at home! I will send a homework sheet home on Wednesday for the students to practice their names. It will be due back on Thursday.This week we will also be learning about the letter “G”. How to write it correctly and what sound the letter makes. We have finished our garden unit and are now working on Fairy Tales. We are also working on writing our numbers to 10 and singing the song that helps us remember how to write our numbers.
I'm looking forward to another very exciting week!
