The Kindergarten children will present their annual Halloween Music Program on Wednesday, October 31st, at 2:15 pm., in the Common Room: followed immediately by an outdoor costume parade on the playground, (weather permitting). Please have your child bring his/her costume to school in a bag labeled with his/her name; and please be sure that all the pieces of the costume are labeled as well. Get ready for a spooktacular treat!
Good Readers...
- Use sticky notes to mark their favorite page or a place where they made a connection.
- Discuss their favorite page and/or connection with their reading buddy.
- Have 2nd grade reading buddies! Each student was paired with a 2nd grader from Mrs. Robbins' class.
Sight Words - our class words are the, I, a, at and is. Individual sight words were sent home at the beginning of the week. If possible, please practice these words with your child at home. They're doing a wonderful job practicing at school!
Good Writers...
- Use all their senses to write like a scientist.
- Choose objects from Mrs. Byrne's magic box and look at them under an imaginary magnifying glass.
- Write everything they notice about their object.
- Write fall poems using their senses!
In math we started a new unit - Cathy Fosnot Bunk Beds and Apple Boxes. We read a book called The Sleepover and learned about making combinations of 8. We used the math rack, manipulatives, and the Smart Board to notice all the different ways we can make the number 8.

Science/Social Studies - We continued our explorations of the 5 senses. We chose objects from Mrs. Byrne's magic box and described them using our senses. We read a book by Aliki and wrote using all of our senses.
