Apples!

This week in:

Readers Workshop-We are leaning and practicing reading our story books like a teacher and using transitional words like next, then, finally, at last, etc...when we turn the page. Our guided reading groups are doing great! Please read with your child each night. :)

Math Workshop-We will practice using a 100's chart and identifying the number before and after (plus one, minus one). We are also using the 100's chart to count on from any given number. For example start at 8 and count on....9,10,11...

Writer's Workshop-We are beginning to learn how to write personal narratives/stories that really happened to us. We are using our sounds in motion to write the sounds we hear/spell phonetically.

Concepts-We will learn about apples. We will learn the parts of an apple, how to grow an apple, why an apple is considered a fruit, and the life cycle of an apple. We will do several stem activities and science experiments!

Reminders
*Our PE teachers have started Jog and Fit club for kindergarten. On Fridays your child comes to school as usual and goes to the star room. If they like they can go out to the track with the PE teachers and walk/run for fun! The students have a yellow foot print with their name and earn a point for every lap they complete. Teachers and 5th grade helpers walk the students to the track if they want to participate. If this is something your child wants to do please come to school early on Fridays. The doors open at 7:15. :)
*Please remember to fill out your child's field trip form, pay online, and return form to school. Our field trip is October 17th.
*Picture day is October 4th. Forms will be sent home soon.
*Our class trip to the Humane Society to read to the animals is scheduled for Thursday, September 27th at 4:00. This is completely optional. :)
*We started assessing our sight words this week. Please review each night with your child. :) They did a great job and we are so proud of them! :)
