Happy Friday!

Hi Kindergarten Families!!

We had an awesome third week in Kindergarten! It's hard to believe that we are already at the end of September! The students seem very adjusted to our days & routines. We are so proud of the progress we see each week! This week we read Pizza at Sally's, Everyone Works, Fall Leaves, and I See Rain. 

In ELA this week we talked about jobs and different workers in our communities! We continued reviewing, spelling, and writing our sight words "I" "like" "the" & "and". We identified the beginning sounds in words, and learned about verbs! Our letter of the week was 'Ss'! We met our next letter person Ms. S with Super Socks! The kids loved listening to Ms. S's song and story and talking about words that begin with the letter 's'. We wrote about things we could do in Super Socks in our Letter Journals! The kids also made the Ms. S puppet! In math we took our Chapter 1 Test! The children did so well at listening to directions and working on their own papers! In Religion we finished up our study of God's gift of the Sun & Moon, learned about the gift of water, and watched "Veggie Tales: Noah's Arc"! The students really enjoyed continuing learning the colors and greetings in Spanish. They learned how to take care of books in Library, personal space in Gym, and read Maisy's Rainbow Dream in Art!

This week the entire Kindergarten received a lesson from our school counselor Mrs. Hendrickson about personal space. We spoke about our personal bubbles and giving each other space when playing! The students were then given a personal space booklet & bubbles to take home! 

This week we also continued our center rotations! In the Word Work center the students spelled CVC words using letter dice. The Art & Discovery centers worked with Mrs. Lowe creating a fall tree painting with corks & used oil & paint in a bag to paint a fall leaf. Students sorted manipulatives in the Math center, and played on the iPads in the Free center! 

Reminders!:

• Sight word rings: Please keep your child's sight word rings in their take home folder as the new words will be added to be sent home on Tuesday! 
• Please check your email for an update from the office about our field trip. Unfortunately due to the weather the trip will be moved to Wednesday, October 5th. All of the other details remain the same and we are hoping for better weather! :) 
• Please check your students take home folder for their completed Ms. S puppet sent home today. They turned out amazing! We are very proud of their coloring and cutting skills!!

We had an awesome week and hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)

Best,

Miss Ryan & Mrs. Lowe
