Ms. G, Shake Drill & Field Trip!

Speech & Language:  This we will practice the blend /sk/. Lyla will contribute our snack of "skinny sticks" (pretzels) and we will make skeletons for our craft.

Color Days:  This week is "brown week."  We will wear brown on Thursday and make our little brown reading book on Wednesday.

Sharing:  The Winnie-the-Poohs will share this week (at 8:15 due to our field trip).

Remember our field trip is this Friday.  I only received 3 chaperone slips on the due date, Friday.  We need at least 2 more chaperones.

This week we will meet Ms. G who loves gum!  Help your child think of words that begin with the sound of hard /G/ and soft /G/.  We will continue to learn about Communities & Health in our reading program, including healthy choices.  Help your child become independent by assisting them in making healthy choices for their lunch and snack.  Remind them to wash their hands with soap and water, and let them learn how to brush their own teeth and hair.  All of these independent activities build confidence and support our learning theme.
New high frequency words:  here, are, we.

We are moving on to number 9 in math.  Of course we address many other math concepts but learning to form the numbers correctly and reinforce one-to-one correspondence is an important kindergarten skill.

This week we will make Halloween arts and crafts projects that focus on the fine motor skills of cutting and drawing.

Thursday is our Shake drill.  Please discuss this with your child so they will have a better understanding of the drill process.  We will be discussing it in class too.

Monday:  let's Find Out! magazine, Dance, Buddies
Tuesday:  Speech & Language, P.E. 
Wednesday:  Miss Sammantha's birthday!  Halloween Art, Yoga, Council
Thursday:  Brown Day,  Shake Drill, Second Step
Friday:  Winnie-the-Pooh Sharing (8:15), Field Trip to the Theatricum

Thank you so much for all of your help and support for Room K!
