We had a great day!
We started with a review math activity, focusing on "one less." We did our calendar and Daily News routine. We then went back to our desks to work on our math lesson (arranging, analyzing, and drawing sequences that are one less). Finally, we read the book I Like Myself and talked about all the things we liked about ourselves. The students then went back to their seats and wrote their own sentence (I like me because...). I know I say this every time we do writing, but I'm so amazed at what your kiddos write and for how long they're able to focus! We then made it outside for a chilly recess, but felt lucky to get the wiggles out without any rain falling. :) We then transitioned to reading groups, where the kiddos worked on letter sounds, sorting according to the /s/, /m/, and /a/ sound, and identifying the words that didn't start with the /s/ sound.
Important Information:
1. Please send your child to school with a coat! We will still go outside even though it is getting colder!
2. Our Halloween party is tomorrow - 10/30/15 from 9:50-10:45 (am) and 2:00-2:55 (pm). Also, kinders do wear their costumes to school. Costumes should NOT be scary (no blood, guts, etc.) and NOT include any sort of weapons. If you have specific questions about your child's costume, please feel free to email me.
3. We will have a Veteran's Day Assembly. The kinders will be singing two songs at the assembly. The assembly is on Tuesday, November 10th, at either 10 a.m. with our primary students (AM-K, 1, 2, and 3) or at 2:00 p.m. with our intermediate students (PM-K, 4, 5, and 6). Click HERE for more information about the assembly.
4. DURING CONFERENCE WEEK (NOVEMBER 19-25), GRADES 1-6 HAVE HALF DAYS; HOWEVER, THE KINDERGARTEN SCHEDULE DOES NOT CHANGE. AM KINDERS GO FROM 9:10-11:45am AND PM KINDERS GO FROM 12:45-3:20pm.
5. Start thinking about whether or not you can join us for our all-day field trip on Dec. 10th. We must have one adult for every two kinders or we cannot do the trip. For safety reasons, we cannot take siblings on the trip. Please find childcare for younger kiddos, if you plan on attending.
6. Cookie Dough delivery will be November 5th. You can pick up
orders between 11:30-5:30 pm. Please note, Prairie View cannot store any cookie dough orders. All orders must be picked up on the 5th.
7. Please practice the flash cards you were given at Open House with your kiddo (sight words and numbers). Daily practice for just a few minutes is better than one big chunk at once.
8. Just a reminder that the PTO and school calendars are linked on the side of the blog. All upcoming events are posted there and is a great resource.
9. Kindergarten does not do a Thanksgiving or Christmas program. The only big production we do is in the spring.
