Dear Kindergarten Families,

Here is what's going on in Kindergarten next week:

I am very excited to have parent volunteers begin assisting in the classroom! Don't forget to check in at the office to get a visitor sticker before coming to the classroom at 12:55.

Art/Science/Math:  Students will be using apples to practice the concept of sorting, counting and tasting different colored apples, and graphing which flavor they like the most.  They will learn about different types of graphs through this investigation. Lastly, we will be studying the life cycle of an apple tree as well as learning about the different stages that an apple tree goes through during the seasons. Thursday is the first day of Fall and we will be discussing what happens during this season as we go for a "Fall Walk" around the school looking for signs of Fall.

Handwriting focus letters: E,e D,d, S,s U,u

Words of the Week: "like"

Reading: We will continue reading the small paper books that focus on sight words in our centers.  When I send these books home, please have your child read them to you until they can read them fluently.

Writer's Workshop: Students will be  learning to write and tell stories about things that are important and exciting to them. We will begin focusing on telling stories with a beginning, middle and end.

On Thursday, all students will have their hearing and vision tested.  You will be notified by our school office if there are any concerns.

Have a great weekend,
Cathy Werner
