October 17th - 21st

It was so nice to see many of you at Harvest Moon!  Thank you to those who attended and to those who worked to make it a success!  What a fun night!

We are very happy to have Mrs. Lowe as our new kindergarten teacher.  She was able to come in and spend Thursday and Friday in our room.  She fit right in and the kids loved her.  I have no doubt that she will do wonderful things with the students and you will be very happy!  She begins her adventure tomorrow.  I will be sure to join the kinders in many of their activities!  

Religion

This week the students will be learning about Noah's Ark.  They have a book to make and an activity to put together.  
Math

  We are workinng  on numbers 6-10.  They do have to know how to write the numbers correctly.  We have been having a lot of fun working in our math centers, too.  

Guided Reading

Each student should have brought home a few sight words to practice on Friday.  Please practice these each night and leave them in their backpacks so we have them at school.  A sight word means they know the word just by looking at it and they don't have to sound it out.  Everyone will have a different set of words to practice depending on how well they do.  I do not take words away, so they can practice the words they already know, too.  They will begin bringing home a book bag with their guided reading book inside.  These will come home with some specific instructions on how to use them. 

Science/Social Studies

The students will be talking about animals and choosing an animal to write about.  They will also be learning their address.  Kindergarteners are expected to know their address and phone numbers this year.


I have truly enjoyed each and every one of the students in kindergarten.  I appreciate all of your support through these first two months.  I will miss being in the room all day, but I promise I will still be a big part of their lives.  I will watch them continue to grow throughout this year. 

If you have questions or comments, please let Pam know.  Her email address is plowe@stedwardk5.org
