Thank you!

So much to Mrs. Everhart and all of the parents that helped out at the Halloween party!  You did such a great job creating a very fun day for us all!  The kids had such a great time and it was so nice to see so many of you during our parade.


ELA

This week we enjoyed reading The Three Little Pigs.  We reviewed the concepts of print, analyzed the characters of the pigs and the wolf, and retold the story by stating what happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  We also read many different versions of the story and compared how they were the same and different. We decided if the wolf was really bad or just misunderstood!


Math

We learned to count and draw a given number of objects. 


Writing

We finished writing our list and label books this week and read our favorite one to a friend.  All of our writing came home last week. Ask your child to read one of their books or lists to you. We will begin writing pattern books this week.


Social Studies

We learned why we cannot do whatever we want in kindergarten and that we have rules to keep things safe, to keep things fair, and that benefit everyone.   


Science

The students figured out how to reflect light to bring sunshine to a town that never sees the sun in the winter.


P2: my words and actions affect others.  

Our words have an impact on the people around us. When we see a classmate working hard on something, let them know, “You’re doing a great job!”. Your kindness will help encourage them to keep going, and make your friendship stronger too! 


Disguised Turkeys:  

Remember to send in your disguised turkey so we can hang them in the hall for everyone to enjoy!


Parent/Teacher Conferences:

Thank you so much for attending your child's conference. It was great to meet with all of you and discuss your child's progress. Please let me know if you have any questions after receiving your child's report card in a few weeks.


After school Pick up:

If you are picking your students up in front of the school, your child should remain next to you while you are waiting for older students to be dismissed or while waiting for the playground to open at 4pm. Students should refrain from playing on the grassy area in front of the school so we can keep students safe from street traffic and buses.  Thank you for your help!



Upcoming events:

*November 10,11:  Half days

*November 14:  50th day Party

  Kindergarten News Thank you Thank you so much for all of the parents that were able to come to Sarett with us. We learned about different kinds of animals and what they do to get food and stay safe. We also took a walk and listened for birds, noticed plants, and looked for signs of animals. ELA This week students are identifying cause and effect in pictures and in text.  We learned that the words "if" and “so” are signal words to help us find “cause and effect”.  We also practiced making connections to deepen our understanding of the text.   Our spelling words are: yet, tip, vet, van, Val, hug Math   Students are identifying shapes as flat (2D) or solid (3D) as they build and sort shapes.  They are learning the names of common 3 dimensional shapes.  Students were also introduced to the language to compare weight and capacity. Writing We wrote some amazing stories this week.  I am sending them home as I read them outloud.    ...

        Kindergarten Announcements Thank you for an amazing teacher appreciation week!  I definitely feel loved! Happy Mother's Day!!!! ELA We performed Reader’s Theater this week and used characters’ words and actions to determine what they like and how they feel. Then we read aloud using “expression” to show understanding of the text and the characters.  Our spelling words are: sip, did, mix, box, fox, wax Math   Students are building with a given number of solid shapes. They are also comparing how some 2D shapes and 3D shapes are alike and different. Additionally, we enjoyed estimating a group of items using clues to narrow down the possibilities.    Writing Our writing skills are growing so much as we write in our journals and tell about how we feel and things we have done.       Science:  Plant Needs: Water and Light This week, we learned that plants and animals are alive! ...
