WEEK OF OCTOBER 3-7, 2010

KINDERGARTEN NEWS
This week we will be learning consonant Tt as in tent, tail and tie. Show 'n Tell will be on Friday-start looking for objects or pictures that begin with Tt. Also, boys and girls are asked to learn their telephone numbers-we will practice writing them and saying them in school-please practice at home too!
The Kindergarten Fall Festival will be held at the school on Thursday, October 14th. All family members who have the necessary clearances are welcome and needed. There will be a meeting for all those interested -tonight immediately following the PTO meeting in the NSE cafeteria.
In Math we will continue to use teddy bear counters, pattern blocks and linking cubes to learn new concepts. Students will work wit graphs for two days. They will name a shape piece using shape, color and size; then, describe its relative position. Children will match number cards (1 to 5) with sets of objects. On Friday, they will create an AB pattern using the linking cubes.
Also, remember we learn about calendars, patterns and numbers during our daily math meeting (first thing in the morning). We also identify letters and words in our morning message which is done on our smartboard each morning.
In Reading we will read "Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip." It's an animal fantasy that will involve discussing community and people who help each other. Children will be drawing/writing about a place where they would like to go on a field trip (can't wait to hear those answers!).
Monday: read "Family Times"; look for show 'n tell bag for Tt
Tuesday: practice your telephone number
Wednesday: practice reading the phonics booklet "Am I Little?"
Thursday: practice telephone number; practice counting to 25
