Week of September 19 to September 23

The month of September is flying by! We have been very busy in kindergarten this week. In Language Arts, we are continuing with our letters and letter sounds. Students are working their way through the alphabet, and we covered letters O, P, Q, R, and S. Students really enjoyed creating their very own paper pizzas with all of their favorite toppings for letter P. They also tried out their rhyming skills with letter R, and word building skills with letter S. On Thursday, the students listened to The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs read by Miss Beach, our sixth grade teacher. Soon, we will be meeting our sixth grade reading buddies!

In Math, the kindergarteners have been practicing writing their numbers and counting. The students utilized the white boards this week by counting shapes on the main board, and writing the number on their white boards. We also have been singing a number song to help them remember how to correctly write numbers one through ten. On Friday, we started the concept of more and less. Students practiced by coloring shape sets with "more" items. The kindergarteners have been working very hard on their math concepts!

Monday, September 26 is Pirate Day. Students may wear sea faring items such as hats, eye patches, and other "piratey" accessories. Students also have been learning a pirate song to sing on Monday. The students had fun creating our class Pirate Flag with the "Jolly Roger" made of red, black, and white beans. We will have it hanging outside our classroom door on Monday, so please check it out! ARRRRR MATEYS!

Just a reminder: We do not provide snack in the classroom. So, please remember to pack your child a healthy snack each day. Thank you!

Have a wonderful weekend!
