This week we will celebrate Farm to You Fest. Children may bring in fresh produce for daily donations throughout the week to help 'squash hunger' with healthy choices. In our kindergarten classroom we will be talking about eating fresh produce from local farms. Please check Eagle's homepage and our district website for more information.
During literacy we will learn about two more letters this week...Nn and Hh. Two more 'letter experts' will help us learn about proper letter formation and the sounds these letters make. Be sure to check your child's folder! We will also learn more about reading books and practicing what reading looks and sounds like in our classroom. For example, as readers... we must take care of our books and respect other readers in the classroom ~ even when it's hard! We are also practicing writing activities and working with letters each day. We are very busy learning all about reading and writing!
During math, we are continuing to work on identifying numbers and counting in many different ways. We are still working on our counting books. We have discovered that the pages take longer to complete as the numbers get bigger! It is also easier to make mistakes with bigger numbers. Our books are looking great and we can't wait to share them with you when they are completed.
This week we will also wrap up our unit on apples. We didn't quite finish last week, but we definitely will this week. On Friday we made homemade applesauce in our classroom. We learned that our homemade applesauce had more lumps than the kind that is purchased in the store, but it smelled terrific all day long! Approximately 3/4 of the class loved the applesauce. The other 1/4 are not quite sure, but EVERYONE had fun helping to make this fall kindergarten treat and we had wonderful manners. :)
I am looking forward to another fun week of kindergarten learning!
Sincerely,
Eileen Browne
