Today was such a fun and busy day in Camp Kindergarten! We started out with our fall turkey cutting project. This is a big project where students must follow directions for coloring and cutting out the shapes that create a turkey! Students worked so hard on their 3 Star coloring skills and 3 star cutting skills! I can't wait to show you at conference time! Today was a special day because we hosted our fourth grade buddies! They came down to our classroom, we talked about all ways we might be thankful with our buddies. Students then wrote what they were thankful for on their buddy turkey project. We also had a few fun minutes of free choice time with our fourth grade buddies! After buddies, we went out for a short recess in the chilly weather. Please be sure your child has a warm winter coat, gloves and a hat for our recess time! After recess, we created our conference portfolio and our November Self Portrait! Our new letter of the week is Tt and our sight word of the week is "see."
1. Homework folders came home today! You will notice we changes a few things on the front and back of the homework page. We added a homework attitude section on the bottom of the front page. This is really for me to see how things are going with homework each day. We talked today about how students give me their best work at school, they need to give me their best work at home too! I want you to mark on the homework how your child approached homework each day, were they: Focused and Amazing (great attitude), Slow to start, but finished strong, or Yikes, cranky! (any fighting to do homework or crying). Please email me if you have any questions. Also, the kinders will be choosing one sentence to share on Friday, so please encourage their best work. :)
2. Please call the office to schedule your child's conference if you have not yet at 465-7800! Please let me know if there isn't a time or day available that you need. Thank you!
3. During conference week, grades 1-6 have early release days, this is not for Kindergarten. We still have our normal AM and PM half days. Your child will come to school and go home at the same time they do every day!
Have a great night!
Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
