Today was a super fun packed day! We started with introducing our letters of the day, Uu and Vv. Then we practiced writing our first letter of the day, Uu! After writing Uu, we interviewed our Camp Ranger of the day, Gwyneth (AM) and Nimrut (PM). Then we did calendar, our Daily News and wrote the Camp Rangers name for their book. We enjoyed a short recess, then we had our reading groups, where kiddos worked on sight words, letter ID, letter sounds, reading, writing, math, and listening to "If You Give A Pig A Pancake." When writing we have been discussing and really focusing on the different types of letters we made (chicken, giraffe, and monkey).
We started our first art project with our Art-a-Baloo parents. We will finish the project tomorrow. Then we played a math game called "Mix and Fix," each student had a set of cards numbered 1-5, then turned them face down, mixed them up, then on the count of 3, they had to flip them over and "Fix" them (put them in order). Then we worked on hidden partners and writing the number sentences that go with it.
Important Information:
1. Homework folders are due tomorrow. Inside the folders, on the right back to school side, should be your child's completed homework. Also, if you haven't yet taken out the red/blue open house folder you were given, please do so. It gets a bit confusing for the kiddos if they have two folders in their backpack. :)
2. Library books are due tomorrow. Some students have turned their library books in already. If it was in their backpack and now it isn't, that means they turned it in! :)
3. We have music and P.E. tomorrow. Please make sure your child is wearing appropriate shoes.
4. AM KINDERS have library tomorrow. PM KINDERS have library on Monday.
5. Please continue to help your child sell cookie dough. Remember, if your kiddo sells or receives donations, to fill out the white coupon and send it in. They will get a minion key chain for every 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 tubs they sell/donations they receive. We were told kiddos can actually return their cookie packets on Monday (10/5), so they can keep selling over the weekend. :) I was out of the Minion keychains today, so students will get their key chains tomorrow! Sorry for the day delay!
6. If you have not yet put the yellow transportation tag on your child's backpack, please do that tonight. It so helpful and important that we know how your child will be getting home.
7. If you haven't turned in all your school forms, please do so asap! Remember, the office actually needs you to fill out the WSP form in the office. They will also need a copy of your license when you turn in the form. This must be filled out before you can volunteer in the classroom. If you have questions, please let me know!
8. Book Orders: You can send in money and the order form, or you can order online! For every purchase online we get a book in our classroom, it is also very easy and hassle free! If you want to order online here is our classroom code: HGCGT
Have a great evening!
