October 15th-October19th

Hello Kindergarten families!!!
We have had a great week so far.  We are working on our farm unit.  the students are very excited to learn about farms and what food that we get from them.  We will be making butter this week that the children will be bringing home, it is safe to eat.  Enjoy!!!  We will also be learning how to milk a cow and have a taste test of some different cheeses next week.
Sight words this week are he and she.   Please practice all sight words learned so far.  We will be testing next week for report cards.  The word family this week is -et(bet, set, let, met, yet, get, jet, net, pet, vet).  It helps to make flash cards and just quickly review sight words and word families each day.
We are continuing to work on number recognition 1-30, count to 100 by 1's, 5's and 10's, and tally marks.
Halloween will be celebrated on Friday, October 26th.  This is the day of our Halloween Fun Fest and the day the students can dress up.  Feel free to bring in a treat for the students.
Have a great week!

We have finished up our Ocean theme and will begin talking about fams next week.  This week we are continuing to learn a little bit about the Dominican Republic.  The students learned a jump rope song that you should be able to view from the school website.  We have made traditional Dominican Republic carnival masks and learned a little about some people that are from this country.
Sight words this week are like and see.  Next week the sight words will be look and that.
Word family this week is -ag (bag, tag, rag, sag)
We have started the alphabet over again.  We are now looking for better writing where the students are writing the letters correctly on the lines.
Make sure you are reading to your child each night.
