Week of October 15th

Welcome to another wonderful week of kindergarten!  We have our first field trip coming up on Thursday, October 25^th.  We will be going to Buckelew Farms and picking a pumpkin from the pumpkin path.  The cost will be $6 per person and your student will need to bring a sack lunch that day for our picnic afterwards.  I sent home the permission slip last week, please turn in ASAP.

If you would like to join us for the field trip we would love to have you!  Important things to know are that in order to chaperone we need to have a copy of your fingerprints in the office.  Mrs. Stewart is the person you will need to talk to about having your fingerprints done. Secondly, due to lack of room on the bus, you will need to provide your own transportation to Buckelew Farms.  Thank you!

Peanut is really enjoying his weekend getaways with all of you, he tells us about them every Monday J If you have already taken Peanut home this year, please feel free to sign up for another weekend again!  There are also long breaks, like Thanksgiving and Christmas that we will be looking for a kind family to take Peanut home.  

This week homework will go home today, Monday, and is due on Friday.  We will be learning the letter M and its sound this week as well as blending more sounds together to make new words!  In science we are learning about the body and how we can be happy and healthy!  We are also learning about sorting different objects by color, shape and size.  You can practice this at home with your student with household items.  Have fun with this, the kids love it! 

Also please count with your student every night.  Our goal is to count to 50 without skipping any numbers this quarter.

 I'm looking forward to another wonderful week!
