We hope you had a relaxing vacation...we enjoyed hearing all about your family memories & adventures!  It’s hard to believe we have been in school for 2 months...this year is flying by!  We love how excited our Kindergarteners are about learning!


As always, we are here to help your child grow...please contact your teacher with any questions and/or concerns you may have.  The best way to contact us is through our school email...please remember to allow 24 hours for a response since we are busy during the day teaching your child.  We are very grateful for this partnership! 







This week we learned:


Bible- Story of Joseph  

Be still and know I am God.  Psalm 46:10


Phonics- Letter Bootcamp A, D, blending vowels to make CVC words

Sight words- his, her, put, white


F & F Reading- story sequencing


Math- 3D shapes (stack, slide and roll), patterns


Science- Fall & Communities




Homework Assignments (10/12-10/16)-

Choose 1 or more activity each day.  Check the box when completed.  All 5 activities need to be completed by Friday.

   

  1. Complete the Beginning sounds Part 2 apple activity on Seesaw.  


  1. Write the letters we have covered (C, O, A, D, G, M) on Index cards. Rearrange the cards to create CVC words and practice blending them.  (Ex:  G-O-D,  D-A-D, etc.)  Bonus: Record a video of yourself practicing and put it on Seesaw!  We love to see you practicing at home!


  1.  Read the book “Fall Fun” aloud to someone.


      4.  Complete the Math worksheet, “Spot the Pattern”.


      5. Practice saying your address and phone number.





  • Bible verse assessments are every Friday.  Sight word assessments are every other Friday.  We just finished our cumulative assessment on the “superman’ list...we will begin the “spiderman” list next week.  Please help your child practice their bible verse and sight words daily for mastery retention.


  • Kindergarteners love their stuffed animals!  Please remind your child to only bring 1 small, furry friend each day.  The stuffed animal needs to fit inside their backpack to prevent the spread of germs and/or being misplaced.  Thank you for your assistance with this matter! :) 


  • Please remember a lightweight jacket/sweatshirt for our cooler, fall temperatures.  We will go outside every day unless there is inclement weather.


  • We sent home a letter about our upcoming unit on communities.  We need you to take a picture of your house, apartment, cabin, etc. and email it to your child’s teacher.  SHH...Please keep it a surprise from your child!


  • We also need your help with your address and phone number that you prefer your child to memorize.  Please send that info in their daily binders by Monday 10/12. Kindergarteners will be practicing these at school and for homework.  Thanks again for your help! :)
