Updates/Reminders
- Thanksgiving celebration on Wednesday
- Early dismissal on Wednesday
- Thank you to all of the November volunteers!!
- Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Good Readers - Touch each word as they say it. They notice sight words and can read them in a snap! Good readers also read around the room and look at pictures to help figure out words. They also read about current events - Thanksgiving.
We also worked on retelling stories in order - beginning, middle, and end.
Good Writers - look closely at the world and write about what they learn; just like scientists! We went on a nature walk and looked for leaves. We examined the leaves under a magnifying glass, sketched them, labeled our illustration and wrote a story about our experience. Today we looked at and wrote about objects in the classroom.
Math - We are continuing our exploration of numbers 0-9. We are learning how to correctly form the numbers, how to spell the number words and the picture representation of each digit
Social Studies - We have been learning about the first Thanksgiving and comparing it to current traditions. We have also been talking about what we should be thankful for...

This week in Kindergarten...
We had our lovely Halloween Share and Parade! Thanks to Mrs. Olvany and Mrs. Williams for planning a festive Halloween craft. Thanks to Mrs. Luecke, Mrs. Hageney, and Mrs. Ferretti for contributing to our Halloween snack.
We learned that...
Good Readers - Point to each word in their book, and use words that they know to help them read. Students continue to work on making connections and retelling stories.
Good Writers - Use tools to help them stretch out words in their stories. Students are using the Word Wall, their Sight Word ring, ABC chart, and imaginary rubber band to stretch out words.
Math - We began our unit on 3-D shapes! By the end of the week, students were able to recognize and identify cubes, cones, rectangular prisms, spheres, cylinders and prisms. We sorted 3-D shapes on the smartboard and played some fun games. Many students brought in items from home that resembled 3-D shapes. (A soda can, dice, party hat).
Centers - Everyone began a new sort, worked on their sight words, completed some Halloween writing, and played games.
Handwriting Letter - Cc
