October 1-5

Language Arts: This week we will continue the Unit Off to School. We have been reading realistic fiction stories about school and different animals/kids going to Kindergarten.
Letters:Gg, Hh, Ii, Jj and Kk
Pre-decodables: these books have started to come home in your child's blue folders. Please have your children practice reading these. Depending on your child's reading ability these books range from very easy to difficult. It is always good practice to read and talk about these books at home. This can also count towards the October Reading Rodeo.

Math: This week we will be learning the number 6. They will be identifying groups of  6 and how to write the number.

Quest: Q-bear has been teaching the student's about ways to ask for help and ways to keep our bodies safe.

Notes: Just a few reminders:

• Now that we are in our second month of school I highly encourage ALL parents to drop their children off at the door and allow them to enter the building independently. It is good for your child to complete their morning routines/tasks at school on their own. They can do it! :)  There are staff available for direction and encouragement. It can be difficult for other parents and students when they notice children still walking into the building with mom or dad. It also makes goodbyes more difficult. A big part of Kindergarten is developing independence and taking responsibility for their learning. We will fail - -but their will be help and support along the way!
