I hope you had a terrific weekend. I can't wait to hear all about Eagle's Spooktacular from the children. They were so very excited about this fun event!
Last week we began learning about pumpkins. Thank you to my parent volunteers who helped the children explore pumpkins. We measured, counted, discovered that pumpkins float, and we even scooped out the seeds! It was busy, fun, & messy. This is how we learn best in our kindergarten room! Last week we also met our 5th Grade Buddies. They helped up work on a pumpkin craft activity and then read fall stories to us. We will be working with our new 5th grade friends on most Friday afternoons. Be sure to ask your child about it!
This week we will be busy reading, writing, and creating different projects to go along with some of our fun fall themes...pumpkins, spiders, and Halloween. We will also focus on three new letters: Pp, Jj, & Kk. Our 'letter experts' will help us remember the sounds and proper letter formation during writing activities. The children love this important job!
Please note that Eagle's Silent Auction is coming up! Our kindergarten classes are responsible for putting together a raffle basket filled with Gift Cards. A yellow/golden colored note was sent home earlier in the month. Please send in any gift cards or donations that can be put towards the purchase of gift cards by Wednesday of this week. Thank you so much for your generosity and for supporting Eagle's Silent Auction. It is a terrific fundraising event for our school! :)
November is quickly approaching and is filled with activities! Kindergarten homework (optional) will begin in November. Eagle's Silent Auction, the 50th Day of School, American Education Week, Eagle's Book Fair, and Thanksgiving all take place in November! Please be sure to check the left sidebar of the blog for important dates to remember. Parents are welcome to come into our Kindergarten classroom on November 20th to participate in a classroom activity. A note will be sent home soon! The 50th Day of School is November 17th...We encourage the children to dress like children from the 1950s on this day! A note will also be sent home about this activity, but I wanted to give families some dates to think about :) Thank you so much for your support.
I am looking forward to another great week in our kindergarten classroom. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Eileen Browne
