9/22/2019 0 Comments Welcome Fall and Apples!It's finally autumn, and I am looking forward to hopefully cooler weather next week. To celebrate the start of fall, we will talk about not only the season, but the delicious fruit that comes with it... APPLES! We will even make some applesauce to finish out the week. Please send an apple (any type) with your child on Thursday. I will bring some extras in case you don’t have one. Don’t run to the store; it’ll be ok! We will make the applesauce together but let it cool overnight. Plan on applesauce snacks on Friday!
In math, we have been working on counting with 1:1 correspondence (counting objects one at a time). You can practice at home by counting toy cars, coins, crayons, etc. The trickiest part has been representing a number (the whole) with two parts. For example, students are learning to show 5 using two different colors like 3 red circle and 2 yellow circles. Please also work on writing numbers always starting from the top. Speaking of writing… we are nearing the end of our “All About Me” posters. It has been fun to get know and write about our classmates, but now it is time to start writer’s workshop. Often, it is difficult for students to come up with a topic. We sent home a project yesterday that will help us guide your child. Please draw, cut out, or print pictures of all the things your child is interested in. The more variety, the better! Some of the topics we cover in kindergarten are teaching books (something they know a lot about), pattern books, a personal narrative, and fiction. Lots to look forward to! Thank you very much to everyone who has donated to the ZEF fund! Kindergarten has won a hat day tomorrow because of your generosity. If you haven't had time, it's not too late to contribute to the ZEF campaign on Schoolpay.com. Please check your child's folder tomorrow after school. There will be three important notes! If I ever send "Take Home" material from Amplify, our literacy program, it is completely optional and for your information. For example, last week, I sent information on proper pencil grip and positional concepts. It is always great practice but not necessary to return.

9/9/2019 0 Comments Leveled readers!Leveled readers are coming home today in folders. We try to practice reading with each child during the school day, so be sure to send these books back inside their folders every day. Because we are reading them every day, they may seem "too easy" or "memorized." That's ok! Let your child shine and feel confident about reading to you. Celebrate that!
