Kindergarten News

Wow! We are beginning the last week of September. This will be a short, yet busy week. We will continue to read and talk about apples and Johnny Appleseed as we say goodbye to September. We will also work on some fun projects that include real apples and paint throughout the week. It may be messy, but it will also be exciting. This week we will also be working on sorting objects and identifying and creating patterns as part of our math unit. During literacy, we will have two more 'letter experts' this week. Be sure to check your child's folder to see if he/she has been selected for this important task. We have been having so much fun learning our silly letter songs and sharing objects that begin with different letter sounds. So far, Vincent helped our class learn about the letter Dd and Isha helped us learn about the letter Ff. Your child may be next! This week we will begin exploring our Handwriting Without Tears program as well. We will talk about the differences between uppercase and lowercase letters and identify which letters have curves, straight lines, and/or both. I have posted a link (to the right of this page) with more information on this program. This will help us as we begin the exciting process of writing! These are just some of the concepts that we will be working on in our classroom this week. Check back for more! I'm looking forward to a great week of learning. :)
Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne
