Kindergarten Korner

 Busy, busy days in Kindergarten! I can’t express how wonderful it is to have the first month of school behind us!!

RELIGION: Moving into another great man of faith-MOSES!

READING: Now that the children have a sense of the routine we will be working on two letters next week-the letter Pp as heard at the beginning of pink, pony and pumpkin and Cc as heard at the beginning of car, cot and catch (not the children or circus sounds)!  Picking up the pace a bit!  New sight words to be presented are I and Like, like!

MATH-We will have a little fun making our own AB patterns using various materials!  We will use our teddy bear counters to act out story problems (adding/subtracting).  Ordinals numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) will be introduced and practiced!

Social Studies-We are temporarily “stuck” in Australia…but having a great time “down under”!  Actually Mrs. Parscale will be in Texas to be with her daughter and the birth of her brand new granddaughter, so I will have K/1 in the afternoons all next week! Pray for my stamina!!

SCIENCE- Just finished up talking about our five senses.  Next week we celebrate Johnny Appleseed’s Birthday!  To honor him I am asking everyone to bring a “washed” apple placed in a sealed baggy on Thursday.  The more variety the more fun we will have.  We will slice them and enjoy the various flavors-label the variety if you can!
        GARDEN NEWS:  We might pull some radishes next week and see how they look!!!

FIELD TRIP-Next Thursday, September 26-leaving school at 8:30 a.m. to head to Motley’s Farm/Pumpkin Patch and returning to school by 11:30.  Please send your child’s booster seat if he/she requires one!  The children are encouraged to wear their CLS spirit t-shirts for the day!!
            In honor of this special trip we will be spending time next week talking about farms and farming led by your farming expert-me-Mrs. McNabb (former Iowa farm girl and proud of that heritage)!!
