"Truly wonderful the mind of a child is."  -Yoda, Star Wars
Picture
This week we will meet Mr. G.  Here is a link to enjoy at home!  The Letter People short movies will delight your child and help to reinforce the sound.  G has two sounds, "hard G" as in the word "gum" and "soft G" as in the word "giraffe." 

We will be practicing our fine motor/handwriting skills writing the number 2, drawing the shape of a square and learn to write the letter "F" with the slate boards.

This week will be our first quarter LAUSD math assessment.  We will give the tests individually to each child.  I will give you the results when the tests are scored.

Thank you Angela!  Our Super TK shirts have arrived and will be distributed this week!


Science:
Our Science teacher Ms. Monks will be introducing the children to science vocabulary each week.  This week the children will learn about the meaning of "investigate."  They will investigate various items in nature and use descriptive vocabulary to tell about the items and play a game of 20 Questions.


Art Trek:
Our wonderful Art Trek teachers will be teaching the children about blending colors using a color wheel.  The children will learn about Primary colors: red, yellow & blue, and Secondary colors:  orange, green & violet.


Shake Drill:
Our school-wide shake drill will take place this Thursday at 10:30.  You will receive materials about this via school flyers so please discuss it with your children. 

Important Papers:
Please look at the papers that come home each week in your child's book buddy.  There are many important school papers that come home.  Empty the book buddy each day. Many children are bringing heavy book buddies filled with papers back and forth to school.  The folder should be in the book buddy each day, but other than the homework, and papers to turn in, the book buddy should be empty.  Thank you for taking a look at these items.

Remember to send in your Original Art orders!

School Picture Day will be October 23rd!d

My pleasure getting the tees. Glad I found something I could do for the class while juggling a 6 month old! Yay!

The Letter People have such groovy tunes! You mentioned the songs were created about 30 years ago?....so they are from our generation's childhood era! We listened to quite a few of them today! Thanks for the link!
