Monday Message

Good Morning

This week we will review the letters Kk, Ll, Mm and Nn.  We will also work on sight words: with, little, has.

       This week is the last week for round one of sight words.  After finishing up some assessments this week I will be sending a note with each child.  This letter will indicate whether your child will repeat our first 33 words again or move on to another list of sight words.  It will also let you know whether your child will continue to read the words for their test or whether they will be asked to write the words for their test.  Please use this letter to help you practice sight words appropriately each night. 

 In Writer's Workshop we continue to write "true" stories that we have experienced.  We are learning how to add speech bubbles to our pictures to help our readers understand our story.  

In Math, we have finished up a book on number 0-10.  Your child should bring this book home today.  If there are unfinished pages inside please consider having your child complete it for extra practice.  Many students still struggle with writing numbers correctly.  If you notice this in your child's book please have them continue to practice writing numbers to 10 on occasion.  

The following number poems are helpful.....

One is fun!

 Around and back on the railroad track

makes two, two, two.

 Around the tree, around the tree,that’s the way we make a three.

Down and over and down some more,that’s the way we make a four.

 With a short neck and a round little tummy, put on his hat,

 five sure looks funny!

Down to the loop,

six rolls a hoop.

Across the sky and down from heaven,

that’s the way we make a seven.

Make a S and then don’t wait,

climb back up to make an eight.

A circle and a line makes nine.

First make a one, then a zero too,

that makes a ten for me and you.

Veteran's Day

We will celebrate on Wednesday with an assembly to honor the veterans of the Sappington community.  Please have your child wear patriotic red/white/blue to school that day.  We are very grateful to these men and women for protecting our country.

Picture Retakes

These will be held on Thursday.  If your child was absent in October for pictures or if you want their picture taken again, please send in the original packet and let me know.  I will be sure to send your child to the 

photographer.

Thanksgiving Feast

Kindergarten will be having a Thanksgiving Feast on Tuesday, November 24th.  The time is yet to be decided.  I will send an email soon that will include exact times.  The email will also include a link to sign-up to send in items that are needed for the feast.  If you are able to donate your help is greatly appreciated.  

IMPORTANT:  We need each child to bring in a plain white t-shirt.  This t-shirt will be used to make a Native American costume for our feast.  Please send all t-shirts to school no later than Monday, November 16th so that we will have time to create our costumes.
