Day Make-ups will be on Thursday, Oct. 27th
Here’s what’s coming up for this week…
·
Sharing is starting this week!!! Your child will come home with a metal paint
can with the instructions about sharing on the inside lid. Please help your child to choose something
that he/she would like to share, following the rules in the can, help your
child to write three clues about the item, put the item in the can and bring it
to school. It must fit in the can! Your child will get to read the clues and
share their item the next day. The goal
of sharing is to practice writing three clues, and to speak loudly in front of
peers in order to share their item.
Sharing is an important skill in Kindergarten. Please help your child to participate! There is no schedule. We
will simply start at the top of our list, and send the can home the next day
with the next child.

Next week is RED RIBBON SPIRIT WEEK, with
the exception of Wednesday and Friday in Kindergarten, due to our field trips. Please try to participate for each day of

We are now iPad friendly in Kindergarten! Our ipads are up and running, and we are
using them as a center, several days a week.
We are currently using Reading Raven, a district suggested
app, as well as Starfall, a free website that teaches letter
names, sounds, word families and other fun activities. Check them out at home!

Our Halloween Party is fast
approaching! Thank
you for your donations to our parties! If
you did not receive the Sign up, please ask your teacher. We had some challenges with them this
year! If you have signed up for
non-perishable items, please bring them in ASAP. We would like to have inventory of all that we have and all that
we still need. If you are donating a
fresh food item, please bring it on Halloween.
THANK YOU!

Our theme next week
is Halloween, and our new Word Wall Word is “have.” NOW, we know the following High Frequency Words: I,
a, like, the, see, is, can, my,
and, go, to & have. Please encourage
your child to use these words in their writing every day!

Holiday Tree Sign up Genius—The
MCA has begun preparations for the Annual Mundy Holiday Fair, coming up on
Saturday, December 3rd. It’s
an annual fundraiser for our school, where each grade level creates an
ornamental tree with different themed “prizes” on it, to be raffled off. It’s a fun event! We are now starting to collect the prizes that will go on our
tree, which is an “Advent” themed tree.
The sign up Genius has gone out to all Kinder families, in hopes to have
as many people sign up to donate as possible.
Here’s the link… http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0c4bacaf2ea20-holiday THANK YOU for your donations!!!!!

Please note: We do NOT look through kids’ backpacks, so
if there is something that needs to come to us, such as Halloween supplies,
please have your child hand it to us at drop off. If homework or guided reading books are at the bottom of a
backpack, we will NOT see it. Thank you
for remembering this!
·
Guided Reading Little Books—Just
a friendly reminder that we won’t always send a new book each day. Sometimes we are doing testing, and can’t
get to reading groups each day. But
when we DO send books home, thank you for returning them in your child’s
folder, every day!
Thank you again for all that you do at home to
support your child’s learning. We
appreciate all that you do! Please feel
free to email with any concerns or questions!
Thank you!!
