Get Ready for a “Bee-utiful” Year in Kindergarten!

A reminder to those that signed up for Grandparent’s Day tomorrow! This is a day for grandparents to come eat breakfast and see our school. We do not have any super special things planned in our classroom! A few quick activities and things will end by 9am (if not before). I have mentioned this to the kiddos so hopefully we have no tears tomorrow!
We have been working hard learning syllables! I am impressed with the work the students have been doing and how well they are doing! Talk with your student about syllables (what they mean, what they know and give them some words to tell you how many syllables are in it)!
Don’t forget to do your family home project (Turkey) and get it in to hang in the hallway!
October book-its can still be turned in this week (I will date them for October 31st), and November’s went home last week!
Please make sure you are checking your student’s calendar daily, and emptying out old papers. We have some overflowing folders and something's that need signed! Calendars also show when PE is and Library so your student knows when to wear tennis shoes and bring their library book back!

Look what we are learning:
Poetry-We will be learning a new poem Magnets Attract
Word Work-This week we will start working on beginning sounds and sight words.
Big Book (Guided Reading)- Our big book this week is Grandpa Grandpa
