Tomorrow is the big day! We are heading out to the Ashland Berry Farm—-rain or shine! :0) Be sure that you send your child to school with a snack to be eaten before we leave for the Farm and a bagged lunch that is completely disposable. We will not be carrying anything back with us except our pumpkins! We will be outside the entire time, so be sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather.
It’s been a busy week in our classroom! We have completed our study of the 5 senses and will be moving on to learning about pumpkins and fall changes. We will have our Pumpkin Station Rotation Day on Halloween, so be sure to check MySchoolAnywhere for items that you can sign up to send in and available slots to volunteer! Our Station Day will run from 12:30 – 1:45 PM. Children will be completing hands-on activities with pumpkins all week long!
We continue to work our way through the alphabet! We have finished up with Dd and Ff and next week we will be starting with Jj and Ww. Please review letters and letter sounds with your child on a nightly basis as well as the sight word booklet that is in his/her folder. We have finished our PALS testing for the fall term and scores will be shared with you at parent conferences during the first week of November. Please be sure to sign upon the SignUp Genius link if you are interested in coming in and come at your designated time. Our time will be tight—please be on time!
In math, we are continuing to work on numbers and number sense as well as skip counting—there are some great songs/videos on YouTube that can get your child really interested and singing right along with skip counting.
It’s been a wonderful first two months of kindergarten—and I am looking forward to November with your children!
Please be on the lookout for another update toward the end of the weekend with the link to the Coyote Courier sent out by Mrs. Patterson.
