Friday Note 10-17-2014

Friday Note 10-17-14

Events of the Week: This week we completed our Scarecrow unit. As a class, we worked together on writing. The first day we labeled our scarecrow. The second day we added descriptive words and the third day we wrote a sentence about our scarecrow.  We also learned a story (be sure to check out your child’s daily folder). We learned the sight word “he”.  Please practice reading sight words at home!  In math, we worked on comparing and ordering numbers from 0 to 5.  This week was Fire Safety Week.  We learned what steps we should take in case there was ever a fire in our homes or at school.  Thank you for taking the time to complete the Fire Safety Plan with your child!  We read different books and talked about how firefighters are our friends.  On Wednesday, the Clever Fire Department came and spoke to us about the importance of fire safety.  We got to see the fire truck up close and crawl through the smoke house to practice what to do in a real fire!  Be sure to check the batteries in your smoke alarm monthly!

Halloween Party
Our Halloween Party will be October 31st.  We will begin changing into costumes at 11:30.  Parents are welcome to help at that time.  Parents may also start setting up for the party at this time.  At 11:45 we will parade through the school in our costumes.  The party will begin after the parade, at approximately 12:00 and last until 12:30.  Please remember to send your child’s costume to school that morning!  Do not bring it with you—you never know when you might be delayed unexpectedly.  *Special note about costumes—NO weapons of any kind allowed, please keep blood and gore to a minimum!

The Character Word for October is: Responsibility

Reminder:
Conferences are next week.  I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your child’s progress in kindergarten.  A note was sent home today explaining how we assess in kindergarten.  Please take time to read this before our conference. By reading this ahead of time, we will have more time at our conference to answer questions, discuss concerns, and so on.  
Weather Alert!
With the temperature dropping, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather.  We will make every effort to go outside for recess even on cold days!

Next Week:
  • Our letters for the week will be “Yy and “Zz”.
  • Our sight word will be “can”.
  • In math we will finish our unit on comparing and ordering numbers 0-5.

Have a great weekend!
