Kindergarten Korner

What a great trip to the Fire Station!  Hopefully the children learned as much as their teacher did!  Does your family have a meeting place in case of a fire??  That was each child’s homework given to them by the firefighters!!!  A special thank you to our wonderful drivers!!!

RELIGION: All about a boy named David!

READING: A new vowel is being added-Ii-as heard at the beginning of inchworm, igloo and itty bitty! The _it word family will be featured!! No homework for the week!

           

MATH-You will find us continuing to work on counting money up to 10¢ using our pennies!  We will work on copying AB and ABB patterns as well as making up our own!  Our new learning will be comparing objects by weight using our balance scale (terms heavier/lighter will be used).

Social Studies-The children are trekking through Kenya!

SCIENCE-Daytime/Nighttime will be talked about!  What’s in the daytime and nighttime sky…how do they move??

   Nature Club-Terrific turkeys-wild turkeys discussed-what they eat, what they need to survive, and their predators!!

Remember -KINDERGARTEN WILL ENJOY THEIR FREE TAG DAY next THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14!!

Christmas is coming…the goose is getting fat…Kindergarten will have a class gift exchange during the Christmas party on Friday, Dec. 20.  The girls are asked bring a gift for girl and the boys will each bring a boy gift before the day of the party.  So you might start thinking about this -but please do not spend more than $5.00 on this gift.  We will also have a gift exchange with our chapel buds during the week of Dec. 16 (still to be scheduled)-so you might be thinking about a gift for your child’s eighth grade buddy-gift cards are usually  a good idea-also no more than $5.oo!  More details will follow as the time gets closer to Christmas!

A little craziness is always good (Red Ribbon Day, Halloween), but I am looking forward to a week of the normal routine!  Well, almost routine...there is the field trip, but of great value to the children!

 ****GOOD NEWS: THINGS SEEM TO BE RETURNING TO NORMAL…MORNING DROP-OFF/AFTERNOON PICKUP WILL MOVE BACK TO THE GYM PARKING LOT BEGINNING NEXT WEEK!****

RELIGION: The stories of Hannah, Samuel and King Saul will be shared with the children!

READING: New letters-Gg as heard at the beginning of green, glue and gate (not the gym/giraffe sound)!  And Ff- the fish, fence and face sound!  Homework alert!!  New sight words will be: On, on; To, to!

           

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming next week November 4^th-8^th!  Come and do some of your Christmas shopping and help Christ Lutheran School at the same time. Check out the info placed in your child’s folder for ALL the details!!!

 

MATH-We will be looking at a number line from 0-10 and talking about what comes before, after and between numbers!!  Now that we recognize a penny we will use our pennies to count up to 10¢, write money amounts up to 10¢ and order money to 10¢!  We will play a game, “What Shape Doesn’t Belong?”  More problem solving-act it out, draw it out!!  Busy math week!

Social Studies-Leaving Germany and heading to Kenya…talk about a change of scenery!!

SCIENCE- We didn’t get our squirrels and chipmunks completed last week...so we will enjoy those interesting creature during the week ahead!

Field Trip to Central Fire Station- next Thursday, November 7-leaving school at 9:15 and returning about 11:15. We would like the children to wear their blue CLS spirit shirts for the day!  Remember to send your child’s booster seat before school that morning and place in hallway outside our classroom-thanks!
