Weekly Update

What's been going on?

We had SO much fun on Creepy Crawly Day! The kids enjoyed playing a spooky bingo, sorting candy corn, making spider hats, eating a scary snack, creating collage rubbings, and making a spider craft. Here are a few pictures from the day.

What's new?

First quarter FLEW by and we are now well on our way into our second quarter objectives. For the sake of space, you will see that I have removed the old first quarter objectives and started a new list for this quarter. Many of the objectives are taught all year long so may notice them listed again.

Daily 5 Literacy:

- literacy assessments (letter sound/id, phonological awareness, and print concepts)

Reading:

- real reading vs. fake reading

Word Work:

- segmenting sentences

Sight Words (Target Words): I, see, like, my, the, can, am

Writer’s Workshop: what is a story?

Math: counting objects and one to one correspondence

IB Words and Meanings:respect, empathy

IB Unit: Food for Thought

What’s coming up?

Kindergarten students will not receive a report card for the first quarter. In lieu of a report card, I’d like to schedule a conference. I will post a sign up sheet soon where you can sign up for a time. If you cannot schedule a time on the dates listed, please let me know so that we can make different arrangements. Thanks!

PICTURE RETAKE – November 13
If you were not happy with their child’s photograph from LifeTouch, then please add this date to your calendar. All you need to do is to send back the package that you have already received and we will take them to have their picture retaken.
