   Kindergarten Announcements

Thank you!

…to the Halloween party committee!  You did such a great job creating a very fun day for us all!  The kids talked about it all week.  

ELA

 This week we enjoyed reading The Three Little Pigs.  We reviewed the concept of print, analyzed the characters of the pigs and the wolf, and retold the story by stating what happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  Finally, we voted on which character we liked the best.  

Math

We learned to count and draw a given number of objects.  The students made number posters to practice matching numbers to a group of images.

Writing

We learned that we can write long sentences about things in nature.  We looked closely at a leaf and a shell and thought about its size, shape, texture, color, and parts.  

Social Studies

We read a story about Max who didn’t follow the rules of Kindergarten.   We learned why we cannot do whatever we want in kindergarten and that we have rules to keep things safe, to keep things fair, and that benefit everyone.   

Science

The students figured out how to reflect light to bring sunshine to a town that never sees the sun in the winter.

P2: my words and actions affect others.  

Our words have an impact on the people around us. When we see a classmate working hard on something, let them know, “You’re doing a great job!”. Your kindness will help encourage them to keep going, and make your friendship stronger too! 

LIbrary books:  

Remember to bring library books back to school on Thursdays.  If your child did not bring one home, they chose to keep it in their book boxes at school.

After school Pick up:

Please remember that students should remain next to you while you are waiting for older students to be dismissed or while waiting for the playground to open at 4pm. Students should refrain from playing on the grassy area in front of the school so we can keep students safe from street traffic and buses.  Thank you for your help!
