Room B News

October 5-9 2009

 

 

This week we got our tool boxes to begin writing in our sketch books. We are finishing our name stories and continuing on with Handwriting without Tears. I have sent home practice worksheets with the numbers we have written. Please refer to the first page to use the same language and motions to support your child in his/her writing.

 

Camp Day is Monday

If you have signed up to bring supplies and are not coming on Sunday, please drop them by tomorrow (Friday). I have most of the supplies for the day and the students are very excited. We have been making and talking about nocturnal animals that live in the forest.

Flashlights: If you have a flashlight please send it with your child clearly labeled with your name. If you have extra and would like to let another child borrow it that would be terrific, again just mark it clearly with your name.

 

Sunday Jobs

Finish hanging curtains

Put tents up

Move furniture around

Build campfire area

Put magnets on fish for our pool

Make fishing poles

Make creek

 

Missing Supplies

Sugar-free Hot Chocolate- I was hoping to have this pre-made so we could sit around the campfire and drink hot chocolate while we tell stories. I may have to hot drink containers at home, but if anyone has one and we could borrow it that would be great.

Math

We have been busy making lots of patterns this week. We have used our bodies, music, shapes, and dance to make patterns. Please continue with this at home. We are in the process of making the longest pattern in the world with the help of Ms. Erin’s class.

 

Reader’s Workshop

We continue to read emergent stories and talk about how a reader can make predictions and talk about what will happen next. We also are looking around our own world to find things we can read. Pizza boxes, Tonka trucks, legos, Disneyland etc. Please continue to send in environmental print that you child can read for our wall.

 

Writer’s Workshop

We are telling our name stories and have begun working in our Handwriting Without Tears book.

 

Kindergarten Picnic and Camp Day Set Up Sunday, October 11 from 1:00-3:00

Sign Ups for things we need and potluck items are on the back of the front door.

The day will entail 1-2 parents watching the kids outside while the rest of us set up the room for Camp Day (Monday Oct. 12). Then we will all eat outside and go home.

 

Camp Day is a day for us to continue learning about the forest, community, shapes, and patterns while spending the day “indoor” camping. On this day I will ask the parents to drop off students at 8:15 and we will not be reading that day. I will need 4 parents to volunteer to stay and clean up break down tents etc. on Monday

 

**If you cannot come in to sign up let me know and I can forward you the sign up sheets. Thanks.
