Dear Parents, Sally go round the sun, Sally go round the moon. Sally go round the chimney pot, every afternoon. Some of what we have been learning in Kindergarten this week… -the poem above is our September poem on our calendar. -book of the week was Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon. We discussed what “details” are in a book and then sorted pictures of things that were in the story and pictures that were not. -we went to the makerspace for the first time this week. The students were able to build with legos, Strawbees,Keva planks, and Kinetics. They chose what they wanted to build with and then started creating! They LOVED it! -we have been learning some nursery rhymes and listening for rhyming words in the poems. This week we did Baa, Baa, Black Sheep. We also did a poetry book. Please read the book with your child and you can also sing it! Comments: -Reminder...Garden Work Party tomorrow Saturday, September 8 from 12:00-3:00pm. -Thank you for your book orders! The books will arrive in a couple of weeks Have a nice and restful weekend! August 30, 2018
Dear Parents, We have had a great week in Kindergarten. Here are some of things that we have been learning. -Introduced the letters Tt, Ff, and Bb. We are listening for words that begin with the sound of the “letter of the day”. We sort pictures and are naming other words that begin with the sound that the letter makes. -Learned the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. The students colored a poem book. Please read this book with your child and keep it in a home library so they can reread it to themselves and with you. We also did a little dance to the words and made our own Humpty Dumpty! -Read the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. This is always a favorite in Kindergarten! We discussed what the word tangled means. We sequenced the events in the story. I hope your child retold the story in their own words using the picture strip. We also made our own Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree with letters in our name! Comments: -Many of you have been asking when volunteers will be coming in to the classroom. I will let you know for sure, but I am planning for the end of September or beginning of October. I will send a calendar home when we are starting. -Also, I forgot to tell the parents at Back to School night that I concentrate on writing the upper case letters in the beginning of the year and the lower case letters starting in January. If your child is writing their name with Upper and Lower case letters that is great, but if not, I will not be teaching this until later. -Friday, August 31st is Staff Development Day so there is no school for students. -Monday, September 3rd is Labor Day Holiday. -Thursday, September 6th is picture day! Have a nice and enjoyable holiday weekend! |

Dear Parents,
Today is a wonderful day!
I am going away.
Not to the circus, not to the zoo!
I am going to Oster School! Hooray!
We have had a “rockin” time in Kindergarten! Our class is getting settled in our routines and making new friends. All seem to be adjusting well.
Some of what we have done in Kindergarten…
-celebrated Brittany’s 6th birthday!
-celebrated Clement’s 5th birthday!
-played “Higglety-Pigglety, bumble bee, can you tell your name to me”, a game where we learned each other’s names and clapped our names in syllables.
-had a directed drawing activity where we drew Pete the Cat.
-read the story of the Kissing Hand. I hope your child told you the story and then asked you to kiss their hand in case they are missing you.
-we learned about Digital Citizenship where we learned three rules about the internet. 1) always ask a parent if you can go on the internet 2) only talk to people that you know 3) only go to sites that are appropriate for children.
-we have learned our passwords for Jiji, a math app that the students love!
-we are learning the routines of doing centers and having fun doing them. We have been doing QR codes, a poetry book, building with blocks, math counting and writing numbers, and listening to books at the listening center.
Comments:
-Thank you to all who came to Back to School night! It was wonderful to see so many parents there!
-Some have asked if we are needing anything for our classroom. If you would like to donate some baby wipes that would be appreciated. We use them to wipe our hands when we have birthday celebrations.
-No school Friday, August 31st--It is a Staff Development Day for teachers.
Have a wonderful weekend!
