Kindergarten Happenings week of Sept. 22-26

Kindergarten News

~In the upcoming week we will be learning the letter Hh as in hat, hippo, and horse. Letter Hh is a consonant. As part of our study with the letter Hh we will have a “Hat Day” on Thursday, September 25th. Students are asked to wear a favorite hat, a funny hat, or even a homemade hat. You can be creative with this if you want! Students will be able to wear the hat all day—we do just ask that students do not share hats. Kindergarten will watch Mrs. Borden get a haircut and may even get to help! Show and Tell will be with items that begin with the /h/ sound. Check your schedule and start hunting!
~Our theme for next week will be “APPLES”. We are asking that each student bring in an apple on Monday, September 22nd. The apple can be any size, color, or kind. Each day of the week we will use the apples for sorting, graphing, and/or tasting! We will celebrate Johnny Appleseed’s birthday on Friday, Sept. 26th. We have all kinds of apple activities planned. It should be a sweet week!
~In Math we will begin learning about patterns in Chapter 2. Try to find patterns around your home. Students should even try making patterns with colors, shapes, and objects. Some ideas include using buttons, lego blocks, fruit loops, m&m’s, skittles, etc…
~We will begin practicing writing our first names. Please watch your child as he/she is writing. Be sure to check if letters are beginning at the top, not the bottom and also guide him/her to use the lines when forming the letters. Thank you!
~The PTO store will open on Mondays starting Mon., Sept. 22nd. Kindergarteners are asked to shop only on a Monday from 8:30-8:45. Please
do not put school store money in your child’s folder. (Teachers will not see it until after the store closes.) Students should keep it separate in book bags where they can reach it easily for shopping before homeroom.
Reminders:
Box tops for education and Campbell’s labels will be collected next Friday, Sept. 26th. If you have any at your home, then please send them to school with your child. The box tops and labels help our school to earn extra money and the homeroom with the most collected each month will receive a treat from PTO!
Monday will be Day 1 on our special classes’ schedule.
Have a Great weekend!
