We had a wonderful first full week in Kindergarten! Our letter of the week this week was M. We did lots of hunting for M's and practiced writing them with our pencils. We also started Writer's Workshop this week and learned that it's best to write about things that we know. We would LOVE to write about being princesses, but we don't know anything about princesses. So it's best to write about us.
We also read the book Do Unto Otters and wrote our Room 7 Classroon Rules. We wrote them together so that we are all responsible for them.
Our Math chapter this week focused on Sorting. We did lots of sorting this week, both as a class and in our homework. You may have noticed that a Math Game went home on Monday. These games will go home at the start of every chapter. Just play them with your child, sign it and return to school. This way we know that you are enjoying our Math chapter as much as we are!
Reminder
- All homework needs to be done in pencil! This is what we use to write in school so it's good to practice with it at home too.
Announcements
- The Celebrity Reader sheet was lost after Meet and Greet Day. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please email me if you remember what day you signed up. This way I can get an accurate list out to fill up any remaining slots. Thanks!
- The class hamster, Hamilton, is available for pet-sitting during breaks and long weekends. Please let me know if you are at all interested in giving him a temporary home!
Requests
- We are in need of a few items. If you could please send any of them in, we would really appreciate it!
