Kindergarten Korner

It’s been one of those wild and busy weeks with our “election” talk and preparing for Red Ribbon Day!  But what fun!!!  However, I am hoping next week will be just a tad calmer!!
            Thank you, parents, for taking time to attend your child’s parent/teacher conference.  It was good to spend that time together.  Thank you for your promptness-I was the one who got a little off-schedule
           
Religion-It’s all about David next week-the boy who slays the giant and becomes king over God’s people!

Reading-New letters-Gg as heard at the beginning of goat, girl and gas-but not the giraffe sound and Ff as heard at the beginning of fan, fish and fruit!  Watch for that letter sound homework during the week!  New sight words will be Go, go and To, to!!

Math- Number 9 will be featured!  We will continue to work with pennies and “buy” some items up to 10¢ from our pretend store!  We will copy and identify AB patterns!  The balance scale will be introduced as we “weigh” in on heavier and lighter-kids have great fun with this!!

Science/Social Studies-We will be watching the election closely!  Thanksgiving is approaching so we will be talking Native Americans/Pilgrims!

Chapel-It is time for our annual Giving Tree offering.  During November and December our chapel offering will go towards purchasing gifts for foster children.  The kindergarten class is responsible for one child, but I am throwing the challenge out there to bring in enough money to purchase Christmas gifts for 2 foster children-that means collecting a total of $150 by December 19!!  Let’s put some JOY on the faces of children this Christmas!!

Chapel Buddies-It is a tradition for K/8th grade chapel buddies to exchange gifts at Christmas.  You will receive more info about this, but I just wanted to get you thinking about it at this time.  Do not plan to spend more than $5.00 for this gift!!
