Thursday Fun

We had a fabulous day in Camp Kindergarten!
We are moving right along with our letters. Today the students were introduced to letters Mm /m/ and Nn /n/. We then listened to our Happy Camper interview and made our Happy Camper's book. Following that, we did another practice round of reading groups, where the kiddos worked on letter ID, letter sounds, concepts of print, following directions, handwriting, and listening. Reading groups were followed by a fun recess outside with Mrs. Wittwer's class. After recess, we did our calendar and message routine, where the kiddos worked on reading, sight words, counting, days of the week, months of the year, graphing, and place value. After doing our Daily Newspaper, we read a poem called "I Measure Myself." The students listened for repeated words and phrases, as well as rhyming words. We ended our day with a math lesson all about zero. Of course, we had to chat a bit about our friend Zero the Hero, too! ;) 

Important Information:
1.  Pictures are tomorrow. Please make sure your child has their picture envelope filled out (with money inside) ready to go tomorrow!
2. Homework folders are due tomorrow. Inside the folders, on the right back to school side, should be your child's completed homework and their picture envelope (with money). Also, if you haven't yet taken out the red/blue open house folder you were given, please do so. It gets a bit confusing for the kiddos if they have two folders in their backpack. :) 
3. Library books are due tomorrow.
4. We have music and P.E. tomorrow. Please make sure your child is wearing appropriate shoes. 
5. AM KINDERS have library tomorrow. PM KINDERS have library on Monday. 
6. Please continue to help your child sell cookie dough. Remember, if your kiddo sells or receives donations, to fill out the white coupon and send it in. They will get a minion key chain for every 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 tubs they sell/donations they receive. Again, please email with questions!
7. If you have not yet put the yellow transportation tag on your child's backpack, please do that tonight. It so helpful and important that we know how your child will be getting home.   
8. If you haven't turned in all your school forms, please do so asap! Remember, the office actually needs you to fill out the WSP form in the office. They will also need a copy of your license when you turn in the form. This must be filled out before you can volunteer in the classroom. If you have questions, please let me know!
