READING: New letters being introduced –Dd as heard at the beginning of dinosaur, dog and dad and Nn-for nose, needle and napkin! That means homework after a two week hiatus (you know it would return)!  New sight words are We, we, and Go, go!  So let’s get going!!

MATH-We are having fun with our “What’s Missing” game…numbers 0-10 are spread out-one child hides his eyes while another removes one number, the child uncovers eyes and tries to guess “what’s missing”-game continues with children taking turns-it’s great fun!  It will get harder during the year with more numbers added!  Also NUMDER BINGO will be introduced!  We love numbers!!

Field Trip –Hot off the press---K/1 will be going to the Central Fire House located downtown on Thursday, November 7-leaving school at 9:15 and returning about 11:15.  Drivers will be needed.—email me if you are interested!  More info coming soon!!!

Boxtops and Labels-When sending to school please be sure to place them in a bag and label with “Kindergarten” so that our class gets the credit!  Last year kindergarten won an ice cream party-sure would be great to do that again, right?!!
