Dear Kindergarten Parents,

The Kindergarten children will present their annual Halloween Music Program/Share on Monday, October 31st, at 10:15 a.m., in the Common Room: followed immediately by an outdoor costume parade on the playground, (weather permitting).  Please have your child bring their costume to school in a bag labeled with their name; and please be sure that all the pieces of their costume are labeled as well (your child's name, written [with a Sharpie] on a piece of masking tape, [placed on the inside of each piece], works well for this).  Pre-school siblings are welcome to attend.

Thank you so much for your help!

We are looking forward to a “spooktacular” musical treat!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lettera & the Kindergarten Teachers

It's October!

We had a busy week in Kindergarten!


Writing Workshop - Students "fixed-up" and published their favorite story from our Launching Writing Workshop unit.  We celebrated by sharing our stories and illustrations.  Students complimented each other and asked questions.


Reading Workshop - We talked about how to shop for books in our classroom library.  Everyone has 3 books in his/her newly decorated book bag, as well as their individualized sight word ring.


Math - We used some Halloween themed activities to practice counting and number formation.  We also learned several math games that can be played after independent work is completed. 


Word Study Centers - Students used sight word and phonics stamps to practice words and letter sounds.  Letter tiles were used to practice spelling one another's names, as well as sight words. Students continued to use their notebooks to practice cutting & pasting their sorts.


Science/Social Studies - we reviewed Let's Find Out magazine and started a unit on the 5 senses!
