   Kindergarten Announcements

Personal Update:

I want to thank you all for your understanding as I have been gone from school. My father passed Saturday evening. I will be taking the next week to help my family make plans and be together. Ms. Elhert will be here all week for me. Please remind your students the expectations are the same as if I am there. I know they can be at their best for her! I am planning on keeping the scheduled conferences for Monday and Tuesday, but will need to reschedule the Wednesday appointments. I know the parents planning the Halloween party have an afternoon of fun planned and it will be a good time for the kids.

ELA

We finished our Toy unit this week by finishing the book Llama Llama and

deciding what made playing together more fun.  Llama Llama learned that

sharing is what makes playing together much more fun. 

High Frequency words for this week were no, go, so and we

focused on the letters Oo and Ll. 

Math

We played math games that included counting different groups and

matching the groups of items to both written and spoken numbers. Students

matched one group of images with a number as they practice counting and

keeping track of images in a circle

P2: Self Control

Sometimes when we are angry, we want to yell at a friend that has hurt us. 

But we learned that the problem will be solved faster if we speak calmly to

our friend and find a solution together.

  

Science

This week we have been making observations about how sunshine heats

things up! And we’ve noticed that things stay cooler if they are in the shade!

 

Centers:

We played Halloween Bingo, practiced writing fall words, made 5 Little

Pumpkins crafts, and made number towers.

Sight Words:  

 I, am, a, the, an, and, is, of, go, no, so, to, do, my

Parent/Teacher conferences:

Kindergarten conferences will be held in October & early November.   Here is the

your child should attend the conference with you.  Our first set of conferences

Thank you to all the parent volunteers!!  Students will come back from
