Wow, my class has been working so hard this year!  They are learning our routines and making new friends.  I am a lucky teacher to have such wonderful kiddos this year.  Awesome job so far everyone!

If you would like to help with the Kindergarten Fall Festival, and did not notify me yet, please send me a note or email.  The next planning meeting is on Monday, September 24 at 7pm.  It will be held at Francesco’s (yum!).

There will be a Spartan Dress Down Day on Friday, September 21.  If your child brings $1.00 to school, they can wear a Spartan shirt with jeans or sweatpants/shorts.

Next week we will begin our new Reading story “Plaidypus Lost”.  We will discuss how families cooperate, as well as talk about the setting of a story.  A few new letters will be introduced this week (Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, Ss) and we will come back later in the year to learn about them in more detail. 

In Math we will continue to learn about numbers 0-5.

Please continue to review sight words every day.  Your child’s sight word paper should be kept in his/her folder so you know when to move onto the next list.

You may want to send in a sweater (with no hood) for your child to keep in his/her cubby.  Our room is often chilly due to the constant blowing of our air system.  Please also send in a complete change of clothes for your child in case of spills or accidents. 

If your child has not learned his/her 5-digit ID number yet, please continue to work on memorization.  The number is used for buying lunch, checking out books from the library, and logging on to computers.

All children need a snack and drink every day.  In order to eliminate confusion about whether something is a snack or a drink, you may want to pack your child’s lunch in a regular lunchbox and his/her snack in a paper bag marked “snack”.  Some children have eaten snack for lunch when they were supposed to eat in the cafeteria!
