This week we are continuing to read about families and about Thanksgiving. We will compare families from today versus families from long ago. We will also learn about the first Thanksgiving and about being grateful for all that we have. This is a busy month filled with many different activities.
Please send in a picture of your family if you have not already done so. The picture should be 4 inches by 6 inches in order to fit inside of our project.
Our Family Turkey Projects are hanging in our kindergarten hallway! Thank you for sending them in.
Reading Logs are due each Monday. Please help your child to keep track of his/her reading during the week. I will send home new reading logs at the beginning of each week. The logs are double sided in case you need to start a new one or lose track. Thank you for supporting reading at home! :)
We have some great educational websites that you can use at home. An updated note listing the sites, usernames, and passwords was sent home last week. Have fun exploring some of these sites at home with your child.
Our 50th Day of School will take place this Monday! Please have fun helping your child to dress like someone from the 1950s. You can google images to find many great ideas :) We will be sure to take lots of pictures!
Pajama Day is Tuesday! Our classroom 'warm and fuzzy' jar is all filled up. The children voted to wear pajamas to school as a way of celebrating the great choices we have been making as a class :)
Mystery Readers! It's never too late to sign up! Our first Mystery Reader read to the children this week and the children loved it. I am still scheduling dates and times as I receive responses. I will send home notes confirming times along with a form to list three clues about the mystery reader. The children love guessing who the reader is! Please think about signing up to read during the month of November or December if you haven't already done so. We have a little over half the class currently signed up.
American Education Week and the Scholastic Book Fair are this week. Please return the yellow note to let me know if you or someone in your family will be joining us on Thursday, November 20th. It helps me to better prepare the children for our activities on that day. Thank you!
Our new Heart Words on our Word Wall are in, at, & no. We are working hard on printing letters, words, and sentences each day! We are also working on reading and writing stories. We have begun working in small reading groups too! Your child might bring home a book from school in a plastic bag from time to time. Please return all books the very next day so that other students and teachers can use them.
I'm looking forward to another fun week in kindergarten! :)
Sincerely,
Eileen Browne
