We had a great time on our Field Trip to Rohrbach's. Thank you to the chaperones and PTO for providing a fun-filled day!

Week of October 23-27, 2017

Reading: “Nature’s Spy” is this week’s nonfiction story. It teaches us how we can appreciate the world around us when we look closely at the natural environment. We will discuss setting throughout the week and proper nouns will be introduced. Our amazing words are: discover, nature, spy, acorn, pod, and pattern. We will continue working with the sight words have and is.

Phonics: The letter for the week is Ss. The sound is /s/, as in sun. This sound will be taught in the beginning and the end of words.

Math: There will be a test on Topic 16 (Analyzing, Comparing, and Composing shapes) this week. Please review the 3D shapes. Then we will begin Topic 1, which focuses on Number Names and Counting. Numbers 1 through 5 will be read, written, and counted in different arrangements.

Reminders:

~Monday starts Red Ribbon Week. Please refer to the October calendar for daily themes.

-We are collecting money for parties that will take place throughout the year. Please send in your $5.00 if you have not contributed yet.

~The Halloween Parade will held be on Friday, October 27t^h at 2:00pm. Kindergarten will lead the parade through the Spartan Stadium in front of the home bleachers. Costumes should not be worn to school. Children may bring their labeled costumes to school in a labeled bag in order to prevent lost items. We will have a limited time for a large group of children to get dressed. Therefore, it is advised to keep the costumes simple. 

~Please continue to practice sight words daily. This repetition will help your child learn the 96 required sight words, leading them to become a more fluent reader. Also take some time to practice the following skills: letter and sound identification, rhyming, syllables, counting to 100, and writing numbers 0-20. 

Have a super week!  ~ Mrs. Green
