Happy Friday

We had a busy week.  We are getting more independent during centers and working together in small reading groups.  In writing, we've been thinking of things we know and writing about them.  Students are encouraged to add to their daily writing or they can start a new one the next day.  I hold the writing until the end of the marking period.  You will get the first batch at parent teacher conferences.  In math, we have been counting, counting, counting.  In science we are almost done with our weather unit.  We did seasons, weather and now the water cycle.

Remember to send back reading books on Monday.  Have a great weekend.

Homework

Our first homework went home today in folders.  It is due back on Monday, October 10.  The idea of kindergarten hw is to have the child do a little bit every day.  They just need to get into the habit of doing homework.  The work is not new so your child will need help reading directions, but can do the rest him/herself.  PLEASE let them do the work.  Have fun.

Heyser Farm Field Trip

Our first field trip!

We are going to Heyser Farm.  Look in your child's folder for information and a permission slip.  Please return the signed form and money as soon as possible (please wait for both things to send in at the same time). 

Mark Your Calendars - Free Family Event

http://www.makerfairesilverspring.com/

Maker Faire Silver Spring is a free, family-friendly event that brings together Makers of all types for a spectacular display of art, science, technology, craft and engineering.

We are on our way!

Here we go....kindergarten!  

We are up and running.  We started our literacy centers so we can learn how to work independently while I'm working with small reading groups.  We worked in Books, Computers, Art, Word Work and Magnets. We are staying in centers for 7 minutes and will build up to 15 minutes each rotation.  Phew!

We read books and talked about the characters and drew pictures of them.  We read Chrysanthemum and did lots of activities with our names.  In math, we explored different manipulatives like blocks, magna-tiles, links and shapes.  

Please send snack in a separate bag from lunch.  Lunch boxes should only have lunch foods in them.  

Remember, there's no school on Monday.
