Picture Day is HERE !!! Picture Day will be
Friday, September 22nd. We will be taking pictures as a whole class,
up on the risers, so keep in mind that your child’s whole body will be in the
picture! So cute!
Here’s what’s coming up for next week…
·
Apple Festival!! Our annual apple festival is Friday, September 22nd
during center time. We will have many
fun centers in both classrooms, as well as outside. We would LOVE to have
parents to help us run the centers! If
you are willing/available to volunteer, we’d love to have you. See you there!
·
Fall Down and Read- On
Thursday, September 21st we will be celebrating the start of
Fall with a good book outdoors. Please send your child to school with a small
towel or blanket, sunglasses, and their favorite book.
·
Our whole school Beach Party & Carnival
will be on September 29th from 2:30-5:30p.m. presented by our
wonderful MCA. The kindergarten classes are in need of volunteers. Each class
is responsible for a booth. We need parents to work the booths to ensure a good
time for all the children. PLEASE sign up on the SIGN UP GENIUS that was
emailed to you by your child’s room parent. We really need your
participation so all the work doesn’t fall on just a few parents. Thank you for
helping us to make this fundraiser a success!
·
DONATIONS NEEDED--We
will be using lots of apples next week for tasting, and measuring, and cooking. If you are able to donate yellow, green or
red apples, please let your teacher know!
THANK YOU!!! If you are
interested in donating an apple pie or other fun apple treat, please see your
child’s teacher.
·
Tying
Shoes:
Please practice shoe tying with your child at home. This is an
appropriate developmental skill for your child to work on. It will help with
their fine motor skills. We have many students who wear shoes that tie,
and many untied shoes that are in need of tying. We are giving Pride
Cards to the students who show us that they can tie shoes. It is an awesome
skill that they should be proud of! Thank you for your support at home!
·
PLEASE work on letter sounds and names
(upper & lower case) with your child at home. There are 31 letter sounds that we test your
child on, 26 letters in the alphabet and the long vowel sounds. ALL students need to continue to work
on sounds, as well as stretching out/segmenting sounds in simple CVC
words on their own. We work
on letter sounds and High Frequency Words every day in class, but if you
are doing flashcards or put them on the fridge or on the wall at home for more
exposure, you will notice that they will learn them much quicker.
·
Guided Reading Books- We
have begun reading groups. If your child comes home with a small, black/white
decodable reading book, please have him/her practice reading it to you several
times. This book is for your child to keep at home, please do not return it to
school. If your child doesn’t bring home these types of books, it is because
s/he needs to learn all of their letter sounds first. Practice, practice
practice at home daily!!!!
·
Our theme next week continues to be APPLES,
and our new word wall word is “go.”
NOW, we know the following High Frequency Words: I, a,
like, the, see, & we.
·
Writing—We continue to
write every day! We are expecting your
child to know the words “I, see, the, like, a & we.” Please encourage them to write those every
day. You can even start writing simple
sentences such as, “I like the ____.”
OR “ I see a _____.” Have your
child stretch out the sounds of the unfamiliar word or draw a picture. If your child is ready, please encourage
MORE in their writing!!! We always
encourage more detail and words in sentences if kids are ready. Daily writing practice helps tremendously.
·
LIBRARY— Please help us
by reiterating the process of checking out a book--- find one you’d like, take
it to Mrs. Sagara our librarian, find your library card on the table, check out
your book, and then take your book home in your backpack. We still have some confusion about checking
out books. J We are still learning!!
Additionally, please help your child keep their
library book in a safe place away from leaky water bottles, younger siblings, and pets. Damaged books will incur a fine. Thank you.
· Pirate Day- Ahoy maties!!! September 28th
is a special schoolwide spirit
day….come dressed to school as a pirate (please, no swords, weapons..).
· Folders — Your child’s folder needs
to brought to school EVERY DAY.
Please empty it out each day. Thanks!!!
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 your child’s teacher with any concerns or
questions! Thank you!!
