Mrs. Cowart's Crazy Kinders

September 12th - 16th

Cool weather yesterday and Packer football today made it feel like autumn. It will be nice to have it a little cooler in our classroom.

Thank you to everyone for having gym shoes at school every day. Also, thank you for getting your child to school on time. Just a reminder, if your child rides the Freedom bus they are not tardy. However, if they are normally bus riders but do not ride a certain day, they need to be to school by 7:45am or they are tardy. We had a great week of being on time.

There are still a few students who do not have a change of clothes or a paint smock in their locker. An old t-shirt makes a great paint smock. A change of clothes is important not only for accidents, but also in case of a spill. Thank you!

Religion

This week in religion we are going to be learning about Creation. We will take a look at what God made each day.

Math

In math we are going to start learning simple addition and subtraction. We will use manipulatives to help us. They will work in centers to play games and do activities that will help with these concepts.

Fundations

Fundations is our phonics and handwriting program. We will be learning three more lowercase letters and learning how to write them correctly.

Guided Reading

We won't begin guided reading for a couple of weeks. I will need to test the students on their letter sounds. I will also see if any of them know any sight words yet. Don't worry if your child doesn't know these. They will learn them as we go.

Science/Social Studies

This week we will begin talking about apples. We will look at the life cycle of the apple. We will be doing a number of activities relating to apples. In the end we will be eating different kinds of apples and finding out what kind we like best.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. rcowart@stedwardk5.org
Enjoy your week!
