Greetings Kindergarten Families
What a fun-filled week we had with Trunk or Treat and the Book Fair! Kids are busy learning together!
Next week we will celebrate Halloween with a "Story Book Character" costume parade. Kids are encouraged to dress like their favorite story book character, like Pete the Cat, The Cat in the Hat, Madeline, Curious George, Elephant and Piggy or perhaps Pigeon. Use your imagination!
Following are some important reminders to keep in mind for this school year:
- School hours are 7:20-3:05. If you are dropping your child off after 7:20, please park in the front parking lot and sign your child in at the front office. If you are arriving after 3:30pm for pickup, please park in the front parking lot and walk to the office with your car tag.
- Transportation changes need to go through the office. Please call 972-617-3523 before 2:00 pm for any transportation changes.
- Contacting your child's teacher: If you call or email your child's teacher, they will respond within 24 hours as our focus during the day is your students.
- Lunch with your student: Parents/guests are only allowed to come to the campus on Fridays to eat lunch with your child. Please see the letter that is being sent home with your student for details.
- Birthday treats: Birthday treats will only be served on Fridays. Please see the letter being sent home with your student for details.
ELAR
We are learning learning our letter sounds and blending them into CVC words (such as cat, mop, pig). Comprehension skills are story retell (beginning, middle, end) and making personal connections to stories.
Math
We will use this week as review -- more, less; joining and separating, number sense, etc. Students will use their skills to solve word problems.
Read, Read, Read
Read with your child every day. Have your child spy some of our sight words such as "the" and "to". After reading the story, have your child tell you what happened in the beginning, middle and end. Retell the story using the illustrations.
Math activities
Practice rote counting with your child. Take a walk and count your steps. After you carve a pumpkin, have your child count the seeds.
