September 28-October 2

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.
