Week of October 17th

Welcome to another wonderful week of kindergarten! I hope everyone had a very nice, relaxing break. Parent/teacher conferences are this week. Thank you to all who signed up, I know you are all very busy and I appreciate your time. If you have a morning conference before 7:30 I will come meet you at the gate of the school to let you in at your time. If you have an afternoon conference it will probably be in the cafeteria. Thank you!
We are going on a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch on Tuesday, October 25th to go pick out a pumpkin. The cost for the field trip is $6 per person and permission slips were sent home last Monday. Please turn in all slips and money by this Wednesday, October 19th.
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. This week we are learning the letter N and the sound it makes. Ask your student to identify the letter and the sound it makes. 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.
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.
I'm looking forward to a great week!
